Question:
The listener, Aaid Abdulwahhab from Khartoum, Sudan, sent a question saying: There is a mosque in a village that had a grave on the qiblah side. However, when the people of the village learned that this is not permissible, they moved the grave outside the mosque by shifting the wall on the qiblah side inward so that the grave would be outside the mosque, but still in the direction of the qiblah. Is this sufficient?
Answer:
Yes, it is sufficient. Once they moved it out, it is sufficient. However, if they had moved it to the public cemetery, that would have been better, more pure, and more complete. Otherwise, if they moved it out of the mosque to the right of the mosque, or the left, or in front of it, or behind it, that is sufficient; because in that case, the mosque is free from the grave. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
