Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what do those who say that the obligatory thing is to remove the dome over the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and to take the grave out of the mosque— is this statement correct?
Answer:
No, it is not correct. The grave is in the place where the Companions buried him, in the chamber of Aishah, so it is not to be changed. As for the dome, the matter is easy, because the dome is a roof, and the chamber in which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was buried was also roofed; it was roofed and had an opening to the sky. So the dome is like the roof that was on the chamber; there is no harm in it. Yes.
