Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Supplicating to Allah at the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), is that permissible?
Answer:
No, no, it is not permissible. He should greet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) if he is coming from a journey, and greet his two companions. If he wants to make supplication, he should turn away and stand in the mosque, facing the qiblah, and supplicate to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). He stands in the mosque, the mosque of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), faces the qiblah, and supplicates to Allah as he wishes. So the place for supplication is the mosque, not at the grave.
The presenter:
Yes.
