The ruling on praying in a mosque surrounded by graveyards

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener Ayman Mutawalli sent a question, saying: What is the ruling in the Shari'ah regarding praying in a mosque that is surrounded by graveyards on all sides?

Answer:
If there are no graves in the mosque, there is no harm. However, if the mosque is far from them, to their right, to their left, or in front of them, that is further from doubt. As for if the graves appeared after that, it does not harm. But if it is possible to be far from them, in front of them, to their right, or to their left, so that no one suspects that the prayer is for them, that is better and further from doubt.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
