If a grave is found in a mosque, how is the grave to be removed?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Abu Malik: If the mosque is separated by a wall, the mosque becomes narrow, and it is within the sacred precinct of the mosque.
The Shaykh : And if it becomes narrow, what is the solution?
Abu Malik: The solution is to say to him, "Farewell."
The Shaykh : Please, he says to you, "Tell him, 'Farewell.'"
The questioner : You have a previous fatwa on this matter that the encroacher is the one who is removed. So if the mosque was built on the grave, the mosque is removed, and if the grave was placed in the mosque, the grave is removed. Now, this statement contradicts...
The Shaykh : Be patient. We still hold this view, but this is a new way out that does not contradict what we said earlier. We do not say to leave the grave in the mosque, but rather to remove it from the mosque. However, removal has two methods: either by building a wall or by moving the deceased, whether it is bones or the body is still intact. This is what contradicts that. And we are still fully with what you know. But here, your brother says that they do not agree with what? What do they not agree with?
Another questioner : With the transfer...
The Shaykh : Okay, do they agree with building the wall?
Another questioner : They are satisfied.
The Shaykh : Okay, then this is the solution, provided I want to remind the son not to imitate his father in trying to please people...
The Shaykh : And if it becomes narrow, what is the solution?
Abu Malik: The solution is to say to him, "Farewell."
The Shaykh : Please, he says to you, "Tell him, 'Farewell.'"
