Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Are the domes and minarets currently found in our mosques known from the past in the mosques of the Muslims, or are they a later innovation?
Answer:
These are types of roofing and architectural art found in mosques in the major cities, in lands other than this one, they existed. The purpose of them is purely architectural art, nothing else is intended by them. Perhaps they say that in the past they also provided coolness to the place, and also the sound travels with them and reaches those who are late, so there is a benefit in them.
