Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, are domes prohibited in homes? If so, whoever has built one should remove it. Are domes prohibited in homes?
Answer:
No, my brother, domes are not prohibited, neither in homes nor in mosques. Domes are a type of construction, one of the arts of architecture. They may provide a benefit to the building, the mosque, or the house, such as shielding against the cold or other benefits. Domes in themselves are not a problem, except if they are built over graves. Building over graves is what is forbidden, whether it is domes or anything else; that is the forbidden thing. As for domes that are not over graves, there is nothing wrong with them; they are permissible construction. Yes.
