Question:
The questioner says: Is it prescribed that whenever I pray in al-Masjid al-Nabawi, I go and visit the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and greet him?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. This is not permissible. Whoever makes it an idol and keeps returning to it—do not make my grave an idol. Whoever makes it an idol and keeps returning to it, it is not permissible. If he comes from a journey and prays in al-Masjid al-Nabawi, he goes and greets the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and that is sufficient. Yes.
