The questioner : The people stood up and built a mosque near it, ten meters away. What is the ruling on establishing this mosque?
The Shaykh : If it is outside the cemetery, and the cemetery is not in front of the praying people, and the intention is not to seek blessing from its being around the cemetery, meaning the mosque being around the cemetery, then there is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : However, if it is built on one side of it, or if the cemetery is in front of it, or if it is based on the belief that a mosque near a cemetery is better and more complete, then it is not permissible. Yes.
The questioner : The sender from Riyadh, A.A.M., to whoever is concerned, in the program "Light on the Path": Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
