The ruling on visiting the Prophet's Mosque during Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, some people believe that Hajj is not complete unless one visits the Noble Prophet's Mosque?
Answer:
This is a mistake. Visiting the Prophet's Mosque is a recommended practice (sunnah) at all times, and it has no connection to Hajj. However, since people come from far away, they visit the Prophet's Mosque to pray in it and to send peace upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). This is because it saves them from another journey. This is the purpose. It has no connection to Hajj, and it is not one of the complements of Hajj. Visiting the Prophet's Mosque is an independent act of worship.
