Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: How do we respond to those who say that the mosques referred to in the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), “Indeed, those before you used to take the graves of their prophets as mosques,” are not the mosques in which we pray?
Answer:
They are prayer places called mosques. They took them as mosques, meaning prayer places. And you know that whoever prays in a place has taken it as a mosque, even if it is not built. Yes.
