Translation text: السؤال: يقول محمد جميل حسين مصطفي من الجمهورية العراقية، يقول: The question: Mohammed Jameel Hussein Mustafa from the Republic of Iraq says: إن الله سبحانه وتعالى يخاطب المؤمنين بتجنب اتخاذ القبور مساجد، فنرى بعض المساجد مبنية فوق قبور الأنبياء والمشايخ السابقين في الإسلام، فهل يجوز هذا؟ Allah The Exalted instructs the believers to avoid taking graves as Masjids (mosques). We see some Masjids built upon the graves of prophets and scholars who were forerunners in Islam. So, is this permissible? الجواب: الذي يُفهم من صيغة السؤال أن النهي عن اتخاذ القبور مساجد جاء في القرآن؛ لأنه قال: "إن الله يخاطب المؤمنين بتجنب" The answer: What is understood from the wording of the question is that the prohibition of taking graves as Masjids came in the Qur'an, because he (i.e., the questioner) said: "verily Allah instructs the believers to avoid…" فظاهر سؤاله أن ذلك في القرآن، والأمر ليس كما ظن -إن كان قد ظنه- So, his question makes it seem that this is in the Qur'an. However, the matter is not as he thought, if he actually thought that. فهذا ليس في القرآن، لكن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لعن المتخذين القبور مساجد، فجاء ذلك في السنة. This is not in the Qur'an, but the Prophet ﷺ cursed those who take the graves as Masjids. This was stated in the Sunnah. ولا شك أن اتخاذ القبور مساجد من كبائر الذنوب، ولكن إذا وُجد قبر في مسجد، And there is no doubt that taking the graves as Masjids is a major sin. However, if there is a grave in a Masjid: فإن كان المسجد مبنياً على القبر وجب هدمه وإزالته If the Masjid is built upon the grave, it must be demolished and removed. ، وإن كان القبر موضوعاً في المسجد بعد بنائه وجب إخراجه من المسجد، And if the grave has been placed in the Masjid after it had already been built, it must be taken out of the Masjid. فإذاً الحكم للأول منهما، إن كان الأول هو المسجد فإنه يُزال القبر، وإن كان الأول القبر فإنه يُهدم المسجد. So, the ruling is given to the first of the two. If the Masjid was built first, the grave would be removed. And if the grave was there first, then the Masjid would be demolished. ولا يجوز بناء المساجد على القبور، ولا يجوز دفن الموتى في المساجد And it is not permissible to build Masjids upon graves, and it is not permissible for the dead to be buried in the Masjids. ولا يَرد على هذا ما استشكله كثير من الناس بالنسبة لقبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، وقبري صاحبيه الموجودين في المسجد النبوي؛ And this does not include what many people found problematic in regard to the grave of the Prophet ﷺ and the two graves of his companions, which are in the Masjid of the Prophet ﷺ. لأن المسجد لم يُبْنَ عليهما، المسجدُ كان مستقلاً، وهذه كانت حجرة لعائشة رضي الله عنها دفن فيها النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم حيث قُبض، That’s because the Masjid was not built on them. The Masjid used to be separate. And this was the room of Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, where the Prophet ﷺ was buried and where he died. واختار أبو بكر أن يُدفن معه، وكذلك عمر رضي الله عنهما. وقصة عمر في مراجعة عائشة في ذلك مشهورة Abu Bakr chose to be buried with him and similarly Umar, may Allah be pleased with both of them. And the story of Umar in regard to confirming with Aisha in that matter (i.e., being buried there) is famous. أقول: لا يَرد على ذلك؛ لأن هذه الحجرة كانت متميزة منفصلة عن المسجد، ولم يُقبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ولا صاحباه في المسجد، ولم يُبنَ عليهما أيضاً، I say: this [ruling] does not apply to their case, because this house (Aisha’s) was distinct and separate from the Masjid. And neither the Prophet ﷺ nor his two companions were buried in the Masjid, nor was it built over them. لكن في زمن الوليد وفوق تسعين من الهجرة، احتاج المسجد إلى زيادة، فرأى الولاة في ذلك الوقت أن يضاف إليه حُجرات زوجات النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، However, at the time of Al-Waleed and over 90 years after the Hijrah (migration of the Prophet ﷺ), the Masjid needed to be expanded. So, the leaders at that time added the houses of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ to it. ومن جملتها حجرة عائ
