Ruling on praying in a mosque next to which there is a grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Following this, a message was received by the program from one of the listening brothers. He says: Qadri Ahmad Hafiz, an Egyptian, asks and says: In our village, there is a mosque, and behind it is the grave of one of the righteous, and between them is a wall, but there is an open door in the mosque from this shrine. What is the ruling on praying in that mosque?

Answer:
The prayer is valid; because the mosque was not built on top of it. As long as it is outside the mosque, the prayer is valid. However, it should be moved to the cemeteries; so that it does not become a trial for people, and so that it is not exaggerated. It is obligatory to move it, and to transfer it to the public cemetery. As for the mosque, if the grave is not inside it, but rather outside it; then the prayer is valid. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
