Question:
This questioner says: Is it permissible to pray behind the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Prophet’s Mosque?
Answer:
Behind it, one does not face any part of it. If one comes from the north side, one does not face it. In front of it is a triangular wall, a triangular wall. They made it triangular so that one does not face the wall of the grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So you pray to the north of the grave, and there is no wall in front of you. Yes. So Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, answered his supplication and surrounded him with three walls. Ibn al-Qayyim says: Yes, from the north side it is triangular, so one does not face any part of the wall of the grave. Yes.
