Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: How is the doubt of those who claim the presence of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) grave inside al-Masjid al-Nabawi and cling to this refuted?

Answer:
What is inside the mosque is inside the chamber, inside Aisha's chamber; it is not inside the mosque. It was outside the mosque during the caliphates of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, the caliphate of Mu'awiyah, the caliphate of 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, and the caliphate of al-Walid ibn 'Abd al-Malik when he came after his father 'Abd al-Malik and expanded the mosque. He expanded it from the east and included the Prophet's chamber in it, according to his own opinion, without consulting the scholars, according to his own opinion. The scholars did not agree to this, but it is said that the Messenger's grave is inside the mosque, inside the chamber, and the chamber was included in the mosque. Yes.
