Is it permissible for a woman to go to the Rawdah in the Prophet’s Mosque and face his grave and greet him?

Question:
This is a woman asking, and she says: Is it permissible for a woman to go to the Rawdah in the Prophet’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him), then go to the grave or face the grave and greet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for her to do that. Pray in the Messenger’s Mosque; the prayer in the Messenger’s Mosque is not specific to the Rawdah. Now they are making a big deal out of the Rawdah only and have forgotten the Prophet’s Mosque. This is not permissible. The entire Prophet’s Mosque is a place where one prays. 'Umar said, “It is the Messenger of Allah’s Mosque, and if it were extended to al-Jabiyah, meaning all of Sham, it would still be the Messenger’s Mosque.” Pray in the Messenger’s Mosque. Yes.
