Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A questioner asks: Is it permissible to pray in a mosque that has a wall between it and a grave, with the grave located in front?
The Shaykh : It is preferable that when a mosque is built, nothing be buried in its qiblah direction, meaning outside the enclosure. As for inside the enclosure, it is not permissible. If we wish to build a mosque surrounded by graves, it is preferable to keep them at a distance so that it is not thought that he prayed toward graves. If this is not possible due to the narrowness of the space, for example, there is no harm, meaning that the prayer is valid. However, the further one is from the graves, the more preferable it is. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
