Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who goes to visit al-Masjid al-Nabawi and includes in his intention the greeting of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
He does not intend that from the start; rather, when he arrives there, when he arrives now, he makes his intention sincere for the prayer. So when he arrives there, he visits the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a secondary matter, not as the primary purpose, and he does not mix them together.
