Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is prescribed regarding visiting the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) grave when arriving in al-Madinah? Is it when entering it, when leaving it, or every time one enters the mosque, or what?
The Shaykh : This passed over us. Where are you?
The questioner : That when a person enters, he should increase his greetings of peace upon him (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : No, the Shaykh says it is not every time one enters the mosque. He says this is not the way of the Companions. It is not every time one enters the mosque, nor is it the farewell greeting. Even the farewell greeting is not well-known.
The questioner : Meaning, one time is sufficient for every intention.
The Shaykh : One time for every intention. Yes, indeed.
