Is it prescribed for women, when they sit in the Noble Garden, to greet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at that time?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there is a time when women are permitted to sit in the Noble Garden in the Prophet’s Mosque. Is it prescribed for them to greet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at that time?

Answer:
No. No, and this has only happened recently. Allowing women and providing a corridor for them. This is what has only happened recently. I wish it had not happened. Because it is a means to bid'ah (religious innovation). A means to us greeting the Messenger and visiting him. So this is from bid'ah. May Allah curse the women who visit graves, taking them as mosques and lighting lamps upon them. So this is not something to be reconsidered, and they did not take this from a fatwa of the people of knowledge; rather, this is an action by those in charge of the Prophet’s Mosque, and they have erred in this without a doubt.
