Do people in our country pray the funeral prayer in mosques built over graves? Is it permissible to pray the funeral prayer with them in these mosques, or not?

The questioner : In Egypt, we have many mosques built over graves, where the grave was built for the sake of the mosque, or the mosque was built for the sake of the grave. There are very few mosques that are free of this. And the funeral prayer, specifically...

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner : When a person dies, they pray the funeral prayer in those mosques built over graves. We do not go to them. You know the reward of the funeral prayer, so we are deprived of this reward because we do not go to those mosques. Should we go and pray despite the dislike, or should we never pray the funeral prayer?

The Shaykh : A good question. Before the funeral prayer, the obligatory prayer, as you know, the five daily prayers, where do you pray them?

The questioner : Yes, praise be to Allah, Allah has enabled us to build mosques that are free of this. But the people do not pray the funeral prayer in them.

The Shaykh : Good. In that case, you pray over the deceased in his grave.

The questioner : In his grave after the burial, you mean.

The Shaykh : And is the deceased in his grave...

The questioner : No, I mean, after the people have buried him and lowered him into the grave, we pray, you mean.

The Shaykh : I mean, what you are saying, I mean you pray over him in his grave. The second question, or is this finished?
