Is the reward of prayer multiplied for one who prays in all the mosques of Makkah, and likewise in al-Madinah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does the multiplication of prayer to one hundred thousand include all the mosques of Makkah, and likewise in al-Madinah al-Munawwarah?

Answer:
Yes, in Makkah, yes, it includes everything within the miles of the Haram; the entire Haram multiplies the reward of prayer because it is all called al-Masjid al-Haram. However, if one prays in the mosque near the Ka'bah, that is better. This is undoubtedly better and increases his reward. His prayer in the mosques of Makkah carries the multiplication because they are part of the Haram. As for al-Madinah, no; al-Madinah does not multiply except in the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) mosque, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
A prayer in this mosque of mine is worth a thousand prayers, he specified it inصلاة في مسجدي هذا، عن ألف صلاة، حددها في
in his mosque (peace and blessings be upon him).
