Visiting the Holy City of Madinah, al-Baqi', the Mosque of the Two Qiblas, and the Martyrs of Uhud

Question:
He asks: Is there any religious prohibition in visiting the Holy City of Madinah, visiting al-Baqi', the Mosque of the Two Qiblas, and the Martyrs of Uhud?

Answer:
Visiting the Prophet’s Mosque is a recommended practice (sunnah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Do not undertake a journey except to three mosques: , my mosque, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque,” meaning the Holy Temple. It is a recommended practice to visit these three, to pray in them, to recite, and to perform i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque). Likewise, whoever visits the mosque should greet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his two companions; he should greet the Prophet and his two companions, and greet the people of al-Baqi' and the Martyrs of Uhud; because visiting graves is a recommended practice, especially the graves of the martyrs at Uhud and the graves of the people of al-Baqi'. It is recommended to come to the mosque before them and to pray in it as well, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to visit it. As for the Mosque of the Two Qiblas, it has no special virtue, and its visitation is not prescribed. The group for which visitation is prescribed after the Prophet’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Rabigh Mosque, where Zubayr was riding or walking. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “ Visiting them is a recommended practice for prayer, recitation, and i'tikaf. When one visits the Prophet’s Mosque, it is prescribed to greet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his two companions (may Allah be pleased with them both). However, one should not undertake a journey solely for the grave; one does not travel for the grave, but for the mosque, and the grave follows it. Likewise, the graves of the martyrs in the cemetery of al-Baqi'—their visitation follows, and one does not travel specifically for them, but their visitation follows the visitation of the mosque. Likewise, the Mosque of the Dome (Qubayr) is not a destination for travel, but its visitation follows. Yes.
