Visiting the Seven Mosques in Madinah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is visiting the seven mosques in al-Madinah al-Munawwarah considered a means leading to shirk (associating partners with Allah)?

Answer:
Yes, there is no mosque or house in al-Madinah except for two mosques: the Prophet’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him) and al-Kubra Mosque. As for the remaining mosques, they are like any others; they are not included in the visit, and praying in them is like praying in any other mosque. If you happen to be present for prayer in one, pray it; or if you live near it or pass by it, pray. However, intending to pray specifically in them for that reason is not prescribed (mashru’), except for the Prophet’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him) and al-Tuwa Mosque only. Yes.
