746. It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ prohibited prayer from being performed in seven places: The garbage dump, the slaughtering area, the graveyard, the commonly used road, the bathroom, in the area that camels rest at,[1] and above the Ka'bah." (Da'if)
746 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ جَبِيرَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُصَلَّى فِي سَبْعِ مَوَاطِنَ: فِي الْمَزْبَلَةِ، وَالْمَجْزَرَةِ، وَالْمَقْبَرَةِ، وَقَارِعَةِ الطَّرِيقِ، وَالْحَمَّامِ، وَمَعَاطِنِ الْإِبِلِ، وَفَوْقَ الْكَعْبَةِ "

The Hadith is 'Weak', yet the rule to the effect that we must avoid praying in unclean places is correct, since the Prophet ﷺ has directed that the mosque must be kept clean and smelling good. (See Sunan Ibn Mājah: H.758). Slaughterhouses also fall in that category. Therefore, no prayer should be performed there. The Hadith concerning prohibition of prayer in wash areas (public baths) and graveyards is correct. (See no. 745).
