Relieving oneself in al-Baqi' and whether it was a cemetery

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: It was mentioned or passed to us in a hadith that he would relieve himself in al-Baqi'. The one who goes there would go and relieve himself in al-Baqi'. Was it a cemetery at that time?

Answer:
One part of al-Baqi' was a cemetery, and another part was open space where they would relieve themselves. One part of al-Baqi' was open space. And note that there is a place called al-Naqi' with a nun, which some people confuse with al-Baqi'. Al-Naqi' is not al-Baqi'. Al-Naqi' is a place for selling livestock, and it is far from Madinah. As for al-Baqi', it is near the Prophet's Mosque. Yes.
