The Ruling on Building over Graves and the Burial of the Prophet in His Chamber

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, it is said that there is a piece of bread above the chest of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Is this tested as evidence for the alignment of the report’s construction with the appearance, and what do I seek refuge from in the lands?

Answer:
It is not permissible. It is on the grave; the grave exists. But they say this is for the protection of the grave. This is specific to the grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), because he was buried in his house to protect him (peace and blessings be upon him). As for others, it is not permissible to include them in a building or to build over them. They are buried with the people in the desert, in the graveyards. They are the most honorable of the Ummah after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and they were buried in al-Baqi' and in the graveyards in the lands.
Or for its protection. As for others, it is not permissible to include them in a building or to build over them. Rather, they are buried with the people in the desert, in the graveyards. The Companions, who are the most honorable of the Ummah after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), were buried in al-Baqi' and in the graveyards in the lands they went to. No buildings were erected over them, and no domes were raised over them. Yes.
