Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Shaykh Salih. This questioner says: Are sins multiplied in the Noble City of Makkah?
Answer:
The scriptural evidence indicates that good deeds are multiplied in noble times and noble places, but as for sins, the scholars of knowledge said that they are not multiplied in terms of number, but they are multiplied in terms of quality. The number is not multiplied because Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) says:[Al-An'am 6:160] Therefore, it is obligatory for the Muslim to be ashamed of Allah such that he does not commit sins in noble times and places. Yes.

May Allah bless you

Answer:
The scriptural evidence indicates that good deeds are multiplied in noble times and noble places, but as for sins, the scholars of knowledge said that they are not multiplied in terms of number, but they are multiplied in terms of quality. The number is not multiplied because Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) says:
Whoever comes [on the Day of Judgement] with a good deed will have ten times the like thereof [to his credit], and whoever comes with an evil deed will not be recompensed except the like thereof; and they will not be wronged.
مَن جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا وَمَن جَاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجْزَىٰ إِلَّا مِثْلَهَا وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَThe presenter:
May Allah bless you
