What are the rulings on visiting the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) Mosque?

Question:
We ask that you provide a complete explanation of the lawful visit to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) mosque, and what is the ruling on those who go and stand at the grave and ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to fulfill their need, citing the verse of Allah the Exalted:

Answer:
Visiting the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) Mosque is prescribed and recommended. It is for the sake of praying in it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Therefore, traveling to visit the Sacred Mosque to pray in it and perform i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) in it, or to visit the Prophet’s Mosque to pray in it and perform i'tikaf in it, is a required and prescribed matter, and it carries a great reward.
As for visiting the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it is recommended, like all other graves. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Visit the graves," meaning that they remind one of the Hereafter. So visiting the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and other graves is prescribed if the intention is to greet the Prophet or the deceased, and to greet and make du'a' (supplication) for the deceased. This is prescribed. However, if the intention of visiting graves is to seek blessing from them or to ask the dead for their needs, this is shirk (associating partners with Allah). This is major shirk and is du'a' (supplication) to other than Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
As for the saying of Allah the Exalted , this was during the lifetime of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When he was alive, they would go to the Prophet and apologize if they made a mistake, and they would ask the Prophet to seek forgiveness for them when he was alive. But after his death, one does not go to his grave to ask for forgiveness, because this is something the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do after his death. They did not go to the grave of the Prophet and say to him, "Seek forgiveness for us, O Messenger of Allah." They did not ask him for du'a' (supplication), nor did they ask him to seek forgiveness for them, as was the case during his lifetime. So there is a difference between the state of death and the state of life. Only a misguided misleader equates between the two. There is a difference between life and death.
Also, the wording of the verse , which would be for the future. So it is in a matter that has passed and ended. That is because a group wanted to seek judgment from other than the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). May Allah send blessings and peace. A group of hypocrites wanted to seek judgment from other than the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So if these people had repented to Allah and come and asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to seek forgiveness for them, Allah would have forgiven them. This is in a specific case. , this does not have generality so that it can be said this is general. "If they" is a pronoun that does not have generality. If he had said, "If the Muslims or the believers ," it would have been a general expression. But "if they" is not a general expression. This is a specific case that ended in its time. And nothing is asked of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after his death. Rather, he is visited, greeted, and prayed upon. May Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad. This is what is required of us. Yes.
