The Boundaries of the Makkah Haram and Its Markers

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned in a previous lesson, in the meaning of "other than the markers of the earth," that it is other than the boundaries of the Haram, or that this is one of its meanings. Does your Eminence mean the Sacred House (al-Bayt al-Haram)? And does it include the Prophet’s Mosque and al-Aqsa Mosque?

Answer:
The markers of the Haram are the ruins on the boundaries of the Haram, which encircle the Sacred Mosque, not the Minna Mosque. The markers are the ruins on the boundaries of the Haram from the direction of Tan‘im, from the direction of al-Ja‘ranah, and from the direction of al-Hudaybiyyah. The boundary of the Haram is circular around Makkah, with stone pillars, and now it is defined by a fence. It is the Haram that a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) and a kafir (disbeliever) are not permitted to enter, and where game is not driven out, not killed, and where one does not pray the prayer of fear. Yes.
