Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some museums in some countries claim that some of the relics of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), such as hair and other items, are in their possession. Is this correct? And how do we verify it?

Answer:
These people want the money. They want to deceive the visitors so that they can take money and taxes from them. They consider this a source of income for them. This is a lie. Nothing remains of the hair of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), nor of his clothes, nor of his cloak, due to the length of time that has passed.
Due to the length of time, and also, who can prove that this is the hair of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or that this is his cloak, or that these are his clothes? This is all lying and deceiving people. Whoever loves the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), let him follow him, follow him and obey him (peace and blessings be upon him), and act according to his Sunnah. Yes.
