The questioner:
Yes. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: Is the grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) considered inside the mosque?
The Shaykh:
No. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is buried in his chamber, and the mosque was built ten years before his passing, so there was no grave in it. However, when the mosque was expanded during the reign of al-Walid, it is said that he ordered the chamber to be included within it. It was included without the approval of the scholars of that time. So the grave of the Messenger is in his chamber and outside the mosque. The mosque was built ten years before the death of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and the grave has no connection to the mosque. Yes.
