The Ruling on the Project of Exalting the Relics of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)

Question:
He says: May Allah reward you and raise your status. We have heard of a project called "Exalting the Relics of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." What is its ruling, given that many people have been deceived by it?

Answer:
Its ruling is that it is invalid. Nothing of the Messenger’s (peace and blessings be upon him) relics has ever remained; nothing has remained. Everything claimed to be his staff or his cloak is a lie about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). They want to make a living from these things and take profits from the visitors. So this is invalid and not permissible. It is not permissible for those who have started this to display images of these claimed possessions of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The images they have taken are your possessions, not the Messenger’s (peace and blessings be upon him). These mislead people, and the ignorant think there is blessing in them. So it is obligatory to refute this project, invalidate this project, and discipline those who started it so that they stop harming the Muslims. Yes.
