Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on working to organize visits to the places the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed through and to his relics (peace and blessings be upon him), and holding exhibitions for this purpose, while warning against religious innovation? Is it permissible to innovate?
Answer:
It is innovation. How can one warn against innovation when this itself is innovation? That is, calling for visiting relics and designating and defining them is innovation in the religion. Yes.
