1- It is not permissible to pray in a mosque that contains a grave, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "The entire earth is a mosque, except for the bathroom and the graveyard."

2- The supplication of the Imam and the saying of "Ameen" by the congregants after every prayer is considered an innovation (bid'ah) that must be avoided and refrained from.

3- The 'awrah (private parts) of a man that must be covered during prayer is the area between the navel and the knee. If a man prays in trousers that cover the area between his navel and knee, and a T-shirt on his chest, his prayer is valid. However, it is preferable for him to perform the prayer in his best clothes.
