Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: What is the ruling on placing domes on the roofs of mosques? And what is meant by the prohibition? He says: May Allah forgive you, what is the ruling on placing domes on the roofs of mosques?
The Shaykh:
The kabab.
The questioner:
The domes. The domes.
The Shaykh:
My brother, this is an architectural style; there is nothing wrong with it. It may be in the interest of the mosque to be built in a domed shape because this is more prominent and better for coolness. Or it improves the sound. Or. This is a technical matter; there is nothing wrong with it. Nothing wrong. There is nothing wrong with placing domes in mosques. What is forbidden is placing domes on graves. So building over graves is forbidden, even if no domes are placed on them. But because it was their custom to place domes on them, people became wary of this: building domes on graves.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
