Receiving visitors of al-Masjid al-Nabawi facing the grave from outside the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: We find some visitors to al-Masjid al-Nabawi facing the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while they are outside the mosque. Is this permissible, or should we disapprove of them?
Answer:
Disapprove of them, even if they are facing the qiblah. The qiblah of the Muslims is the Ka'bah, except when greeting the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) or others. If you want to greet the grave, you face the deceased as you would face a living person. As for the state of supplication, the qiblah for Muslims is the Ka'bah in any place. Yes.
