The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is visiting the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for the people of Madinah every time they enter the mosque considered a bid'ah (religious innovation)?

The Shaykh:
What is it?

The questioner:
Is visiting the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for the people of Madinah every time they enter the mosque considered a bid'ah (religious innovation)?

The Shaykh:
Yes, whether they are the people of Madinah or non-residents living there, residing in Madinah even if they are not from its people, they do not visit the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) grave every time they enter the mosque. This is only upon their first arrival from a journey, upon their first arrival from a journey, and this does not continue or repeat, because this is making his grave a festival, which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade. Yes.
