Taḥdhīr al-SājidNasir al-Din al-Albani

and its estrangement among people is, as you can see, all too evident.”

From the statements we have cited it becomes clear that the four schools of law are unanimous—exactly as the aforementioned hadiths indicate—on the prohibition of building mosques over graves. The consensus of the scholars on this point was also transmitted by the one most versed in their opinions and in the areas where they agree and differ, namely Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728 AH), may Allah have mercy on him. He was asked, verbatim:

“Is the prayer valid in a mosque that contains a grave, where people gather for both the daily congregational prayers and Friday prayer, or not? And should the grave be leveled, or should a barrier or wall be built around it?”

= «أبو صالح هو باذام ولم يحتجا به». قلت: وهو ضعيف عند جمهور الأئمة، ولم يوثقه إلا العجلي وحده كما قال الحافظ في «التهذيب»، والعجلي معروف بتساهله في التوثيق كابن حبان ولم نجد للحديث طريقًا أخرى لنشد عضده به بعد مزيد البحث عنه. ولعل المشار إليه، عني بكلامه بعض الشواهد التي ذكرتها هناك لكن هذه ليس فيها ذكر للسرج أصلًا، فهو وهم على وهم.
