The ruling on endowing a slave for the Prophet’s chamber and venerating his grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I seek Allah’s forgiveness from you. I read in the marginal notes of Shaykh Sulayman ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on them all) on Ibn Qudamah’s book *Mughni*: “It is valid to endow one’s slave for the chamber of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and to light its lamps—not merely to light them—and to hang silk curtains on it, to hang things on it, to sweep the walls, and the like.” Is this considered the forbidden type of veneration? And is venerating the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) part of venerating the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
I do not know this. Refer to the marginal notes and we will see, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah grant you success,
