What is the ruling on a mosque built on a grave?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If there is a merchant near a mosque built on a grave, should he pray in this mosque, knowing that the imam ...?

The Shaykh : First, my brother, there is no difference between a mosque built on a grave; it is a grave that has been brought into the mosque with regard to prayer. As for this distinction between this and that regarding the removal of the encroacher on the other: if the grave was built before the mosque, and then the mosque was built on it, the mosque is demolished and the grave is preserved, and the reverse is the reverse. This is a matter. Praying in this mosque is prohibited, whether the later addition was the mosque or the grave. Is that clear?

The questioner : Is that clear?

Another questioner : The Shaykh :

The Shaykh : Listen, my brother, may Allah guide you. The answer to the question has not ended. As for this merchant being next to this mosque, if he is keen to perform the prayer in congregation, he must seek and look for a mosque that does not have this matter. And Allah knows best. Is that clear?

The questioner : Yes, in the absence of ... this mosque.

The Shaykh : If it is not available to him, he does not pray in the mosque. Yes, this is like praying in the times of dislike.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : It is not permissible. His earnings are illicit ... all of it is illicit, in illicitness.

The questioner : Shaykh, another question. There is a sacrificial animal ...

The Shaykh : What is it? What is there?

The questioner : A grave.

The Shaykh : A grave.

The questioner : ... If ... for this land.

The Shaykh : ... with it, yes.

The questioner : ... this land in building a house, for example, the grave is removed.

Another questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.

The questioner : If you please, Shaykh.

The Shaykh: In the name of Allah.
