I prayed in a mosque with a cemetery in front of it for ten years, so what is the ruling on my prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: I have prayed for more than ten years in a mosque with a cemetery in front of it, so is my prayer valid?

Answer:
If the cemetery is connected to the mosque, the prayer is not valid. However, if it is separate from the mosque, with an open space or a road between it and the mosque, then the prayer in the mosque is valid. But as for you, since you say you have been praying for ten years without knowing or being aware, your prayer is valid, if Allah wills, due to the excuse of ignorance. Do not return to such a situation. Yes.
