The Ruling on Owning Land in Makkah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: What is the stronger position regarding the ownership of land in Makkah?
Answer:
The stronger position is that it is permissible, and Allah knows best. Otherwise, this is what is currently practiced, except for the land of the sacred sites. The land of the sacred sites is not owned by virtue of the mosque: al-Masjid al-Haram, Mina, Muzdalifah, and 'Arafah. These are sacred sites that are not owned by virtue of the mosque. As for the rest of the land in Makkah, the correct view is that it is owned.
