Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on non-Muslims entering the sacred precinct of the Prophet’s city?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with them entering; they are only prevented from entering the Makkah sacred precinct,[At-Tawbah 9:28]. As for the Madinah sacred precinct, they used to enter upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in the mosque, in his mosque. So if they enter, no, there is no prohibition. Yes.

Answer:

indeed the polytheists are unclean, so let them not approach al-Masjid al-Haram after this, their [final] year
إِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ فَلَا يَقْرَبُوا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَٰذَا
