Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q441: The questioner, Abu Sami, an Egyptian national residing in Riyadh, asks: If there is a cemetery in the direction of the mosque’s mihrab, and this cemetery is walled off, what is the ruling on praying in this mosque? May Allah reward you.
A441: If the mosque is separated from the cemetery by a road, or by open land, and is not connected to the mosque’s wall, then there is nothing wrong with it. However, if the mosque’s wall is adjacent to the cemetery with no separation between them, then it is not permissible to pray in this mosque, because it is built upon graves.
