Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned (may Allah preserve you) in a past lesson that it is a recommended practice (sunnah) to enter the Sacred Mosque from Kuda and to exit from Kuda. Is this absolute for Hajj and 'Umrah, as well as entering for prayer, or is it specific to Hajj?
Answer:
This is a reported event; this was the action of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As for entering for prayer, there is hesitation regarding it; it is not obligatory to enter from any specific gate on one's way.
