Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Does praying in the latest expansion, the King Abdullah expansion, have the same ruling as praying inside al-Masjid al-Haram if it is not full?
Answer:
All of al-Masjid al-Haram, whatever is enclosed by its walls, is part of al-Masjid al-Haram, including its additions; it is al-Masjid al-Haram. In fact, everything within the miles of the Haram is called al-Masjid al-Haram; everything within the miles of the sacred precinct is called al-Masjid al-Haram. However, the mosque of the Ka'bah, which contains the Ka'bah, is more virtuous than the rest of the Haram. Yes.
