4.4. MASJIDS WITH GRAVES
Such masjids are of two types with regard to their origin-
1. masjid built over a grave, and
2. masjid in which a grave has been put, some time after its construction.
Naturally, there is no difference between the two as far as salaah is concerned. In both cases, salaah in them is despised if no regard is paid to the grave, and haraam if salaah to the grave is intended. However, the method of correcting such masjids varies according to their origin:
1. A masjid built over a grave should be demolished and the grave levelled if it has a structure over it. Because such a masjid was originally a grave, it should be returned to its original state.
2. A masjid in which a grave has been placed should be left intact, but the grave should be removed. In this case the masjid was originally a masjid and not a grave; thus, it should be returned to its original state.
