Question:
This person asks: Is the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) considered a shrine?
Answer:
No. A shrine, in the understanding of people today, is that which is worshipped other than Allah and from which people seek blessing. That is what a shrine is in the understanding of people today. The grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is preserved, and praise be to Allah, it is not worshipped, nor do people seek blessing from it, nor do people reach it or see it. It is preserved and protected, so it is not a shrine. It is in the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in the chamber of A'ishah. Yes.
