Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: Chapter: Are the graves of the polytheists of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance to be dug up, and their locations turned into mosques?

The Shaykh : Their location, in your view?
The reader: Yes. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Allah cursed the Jews for they took the graves of their prophets as places for worship. لعن الله اليهود ، اتخذوا قبور أنبيائهم مساجد
Sahih al-Bukhari 4441
. And it is disliked to pray in graves. "And 'Umar saw Anas ibn Malik praying at a grave and said, 'The grave, the grave'", but he did not order him to repeat the prayer.
