Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A person arrived in the Prophet’s city of Madinah and did not go to the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); rather, he was content with praying and sending blessings upon him every time he entered the mosque. Is this considered rude?
Answer:
This is leaving a recommended practice (sunnah). We do not say it is considered rude, but we say it is leaving a recommended practice. If he had greeted the Messenger, that would have been better. Yes.
