The ruling on placing domes on the roofs of mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on placing domes on the roofs of mosques? And what is meant by the transfer?
The Shaykh:
It is magnified.
The questioner:
He says, may Allah forgive you: What is the ruling on placing domes on the roofs of mosques? The villas. The domes.
The Shaykh:
My brother, this is an architectural matter, there is nothing wrong with it. It may be in the interest of the mosque to make it in a domed shape because this is cooler, better for the coolness, or clearer for the sound. This is a technical matter, there is nothing wrong with it, there is nothing wrong with placing domes in mosques. It is forbidden to place domes on graves, so building over graves is forbidden even if no domes are placed on them, but because it was their custom to place domes on them, people became wary of this: building domes over graves. Yes, yes.
