Is the prayer valid in the Prophet's Mosque with the presence of the grave?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. It is not permissible to pray behind a grave, and the prayer is not valid.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : Praying behind a grave, praying behind a grave is not valid and is not permissible. A branch of this is: Is the prayer valid behind the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Prophet's Mosque?
The Shaykh : Yes, the Prophet's Mosque, may Allah bless you. The Prophet (may the prayer and peace of Allah be upon him) was not buried in the Prophet's Mosque; rather, he was buried in the house of A'ishah, is that not so? Good. And the mosque was not built over him either; rather, the mosque was already standing from the lifetime of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). But in the latter part of the first century, they needed to expand it and did not see a better direction than this one, so they expanded it from this direction, and the chamber of A'ishah entered into the mosque itself.
So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was not buried in the mosque, and the mosque was not built over him, so there is no proof in this for those who build over graves. Yes.
