Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Many people, when told that prayer in a mosque containing a grave is invalid and must be repeated, cite the Prophet's Mosque as a precedent?
Answer:
The Prophet's Mosque does not contain his grave; his grave is in Aisha's house, not in the mosque. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was buried in Aisha's house.
