Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is the one who permits traveling to the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) an innovator by virtue of this permission?

Answer:
Yes. This is the religious innovation (bid'ah); because this matter is not prescribed (mashru'), and whoever does something that is not prescribed is an innovator. Whoever introduces into our affair something that does not belong to it is rejected. Yes.
