Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: The Sufis in our country justify burying their shaykhs in the mosques by claiming that Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them both) were buried by the Muslims in the mosque with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), not in the cemetery of al-Baqi'.
Answer:
These are liars. They are liars. The Messenger, Abu Bakr, and 'Umar were buried in A'ishah’s house. They were not in the mosque. A'ishah’s house was outside the mosque, outside the mosque; it is not in the mosque. It was only brought into the mosque after the blessed centuries. It was not in the mosque; it was outside the mosque. These people lie to the people and mislead the people. Yes.
