Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: There is a place in the northern section of the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called Dakhah al-Aghwat. Some people compete to pray there because the grave is in front of this dakhah. The administration has placed steps in the qiblah direction of the dakhah, and there are Qur’ans between the grave and the dakhah. Is it permissible to pray in this place?
Answer:
It has no special merit. The one who believes there is a special merit in it is committing a sin. As for the one who prays there because it is part of the mosque and does not believe it has any special merit, it is part of the mosque.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
