The answer

It is not permissible to bury the deceased in the mosque, and the grave must be exhumed and the body removed. If a mosque is built over a grave, the matter is even more severe. Prayer is not permissible in a mosque that contains a grave. As for living next to it, it is permissible as long as the questioner does not pray in it and denounces their actions that violate Islamic law. It is not permissible to supply them with water because it is aiding in sin. Likewise, taking electricity from the corner is not permissible except with the permission of the officials if it is free of charge at the expense of the state.
