Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: How do we respond to those who object to praying in al-Masjid al-Nabawi because it contains the grave of the Messenger and the graves of Abu Bakr and 'Umar?
Answer:
This is a lie. The grave of the Messenger and the graves of Abu Bakr and 'Umar are not in the mosque; rather, they are in the room of 'A'ishah, in the room of 'A'ishah. It was outside the mosque for a long period of time, and it was only brought into the mosque afterward, during the reign of the Caliph al-Walid ibn 'Abd al-Malik, which was later than the era of the Companions and the [Tabi'un]. Therefore, there is no argument in that. Yes.
