Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: O Shaykh, we have a mosque next to a grave, and this mosque has been named after the owner of this grave. The imam of the mosque and a group of people go to this grave and perform supplications that we do not understand, and they beat the hand drum. What is the ruling on praying in this mosque? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
If the grave is outside the mosque, and the mosque is far away and safe from it, there is nothing wrong with it. As for their standing at the grave, coming with unknown supplications, and beating the hand drum; this is a religious innovation, this is from the superstitions of the Sufis, an innovation that is not permissible.
One only greets the graves with the lawful greeting in a known voice. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to visit the graves and say:Sunan Ibn Majah 1547Sahih (Darussalam), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to teach his companions when they visited the graves to say: , this and the like of it, this is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do.
As for his greeting them with an unknown voice ……, his doer is accused of this, and this is not permissible.
Likewise, beating the hand drum at the grave is a religious innovation, it has no basis, yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you and bless you.
