Doubling the Prayer in the Sacred Precinct
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa No. ( 16527 )
Q: Is the prayer in al-Masjid al-Haram equivalent to one hundred thousand prayers elsewhere? Is this specific to al-Masjid al-Haram only, or does it include all of the land of Makkah al-Mukarramah and its boundaries?
A: The doubling of prayer in Makkah, may Allah protect it, includes the entire sacred precinct, and the doubling of prayer is not specific to al-Masjid al-Haram alone. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Isra 17:1] And the Isra was from the house of Umm Hani . Imam Ahmad narrated in the story of al-Hudaybiyyah : Mishkat al-Masabih 1401 , and al-Hudaybiyyah is partly in the non-sacred area and partly in the sacred precinct. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِthe Prophet used to observe
أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يصلي في الحرم
