Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Performing the festival prayer in the mosque is a recommended practice (sunnah). Does al-Masjid al-Haram have a distinct status regarding the festival prayer performed in it?

As for the people of al-Masjid al-Haram, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order them to go out of it. Yes, yes.
