The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a difference between a shrine and a grave?
The Shaykh:
The shrine is the grave. The shrine is the grave that is venerated. The shrine, yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
People today know the shrine to be the grave that is venerated, even though the shrine in its original sense is the grave. The shrine in its original sense is the grave, where one spends the night and the day. Then, when the veneration of graves became prevalent, they began to call them shrines.
