Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman says: I visited the Prophet’s city and saw a woman praying facing the grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), leaving the qiblah behind her. She says: Was it obligatory for me to rebuke her and inform the security forces, or what is my obligation?
Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory that you advised her and told her: This is not permissible; this is worship of other than Allah, this is shirk (associating partners with Allah). You should inform those who monitor the place, the guards at the chamber, about her and about others, so that they do not leave anyone doing this act.
