Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is surrounded by the mosque on all sides. Behind it, or behind the Prophet’s chamber, there is a place that is somewhat elevated above the floor of the mosque, such that if a person prays there, the chamber would be in front of him. What is the ruling on praying behind the Prophet’s chamber?
Answer:
In front of him, but it is curved. It is not directly in front of him; rather, it is curved from the inside. So he does not face the grave; he faces the open space in front of him. The grave is surrounded by walls, and the outermost wall is curved, so nothing of it is directly in front of the person praying. Yes.
