Several Masaajid in our area have graves in them. What should we do because we do not the have authority to rectify the situation? Some Sheikhs before have tried but it created a lot of fitna, chaos.

It is not permissible to pray in a Masjid with graves in it. If people have tried to have the graves relocated with no avail, maybe it is better to leave and start something new that is in accordance to the religion.

Allah knows best.
