The questioner:
He asks: Are all other acts of worship multiplied in the Sacred Mosque, just like the prayer?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the prayer is multiplied; this is by explicit text. One prayer in the Sacred Mosque is worth a hundred thousand prayers. This is in the authentic hadith. Likewise, the rest of the deeds are multiplied in the Sacred Mosque due to the honor of the place. The deeds are multiplied in the Sacred Mosque due to the honor of the place, if Allah wills.
The questioner:
He asks: Are the sins multiplied? Are the sins multiplied in the Sacred Mosque?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the sins are aggravated. The sins are aggravated in the Sacred Mosque, but they are not multiplied. The multiplication is specific to good deeds. As for the sins, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:[Ash-Shuraa 42:40] And the sin of the evil deed is made great; the sin is made great. He (Mighty and Majestic) said regarding the Haram: [Al-Hajj 22:25] Yes.

وَجَزَاءُ سَيِّئَةٍ سَيِّئَةٌ مِّثْلُهَاand [also] whoever intends [a deed] therein of deviation [in religion] or wrongdoing - We will make him taste of a painful punishment.
وَمَن يُرِدْ فِيهِ بِإِلْحَادٍ بِظُلْمٍ نُّذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
