What is the ruling on praying in a mosque surrounded by a cemetery from the outside, and is it obligatory to repeat the prayers that were performed therein if they were not valid?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no harm in praying in the aforementioned mosque as long as there is no grave inside it, and there is a barrier between it and the graveyard, such as the mosque's wall, or the street, or a wide distance. The mosque's wall is sufficient as a separator between it and the graveyard, and the presence of graves to the right or left of the worshiper does not cause any harm.
