Question:
What are the boundaries of the Noble Makkah in the four directions? And is it true that prayer in any of the mosques of Makkah is like prayer inside the Haram?
Answer:
If he means the boundaries of Makkah, and if he means the boundaries of the Haram, the boundaries of the Haram are known and defined by miles, and praise be to Allah, there are established miles, or rather established pillars, on the boundaries of the Haram. These days, the state, may Allah support it with His victory, has renewed these boundaries and marked them on the boundaries of the Haram. They are known and are called the miles, or they are called the boundaries of the Haram. As for Makkah itself, Makkah itself has no boundaries, meaning the buildings themselves and the residents, yes, this has no boundaries, but rather it is according to the expansion of the settlement and the contraction of the settlement. The discussion is about defining the Haram. Yes, prayer inside the Haram.
And as for the mosques, or whoever prays inside the Haram, meaning inside the miles, whoever prays inside the miles, he has prayed in the Haram, whether he is inside the buildings or outside the buildings, as long as he is inside the miles of the Haram and the known markers of the Haram, then he has the reward of the one who prays in the Haram.
The Sacred Mosque, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said, the prayer this includes the entire Haram, but the closer a person is to the Ka'bah and sees it, the better that is.

The Sacred Mosque, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said, the prayer
in the Sacred Mosque is like a hundred thousand prayers in any other place,
في المسجد الحرام عن مائة ألف صلاة فيما سواه،
