Is entering the Haram from the Gate of Peace better than from the others?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is better, or is it true, as has spread among the common people, that it is recommended to enter the Sacred Mosque from the Gate of Peace? Is there a basis for this in the Sunnah?
Answer:
Yes, entering from the side of the Ka'bah Gate is better than entering from the western side. Entering from the top, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah from its highest point, he entered Makkah from its highest point and exited from its lowest point, he exited from its lowest point, this is the entering and exiting, so facing the House first when entering is better, and if he enters from any gate there is no harm, but he is asking about what is better, the better is that he enters facing the face of the Ka'bah, which is the gate, and it is the one aligned with the Gate of Peace,
