Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: Some people are circulating images on mobile phones of al-Baqi' cemetery, as if light is emerging from it that resembles lamps. They are also circulating light that they claim shone from the Ka'bah on the twenty-seventh night of Ramadan. Is this true? And what is your guidance regarding such images and their circulation?

Answer:
By Allah, nowadays there is a lot of nonsense, a lot of ignorance, may Allah protect us from it, and a lot of misguidance. They have used mobile phones for this. It is obligatory to be cautious of these matters; it is obligatory to be cautious of these matters. Why? The light is coming out of al-Baqi' now, and it is on mobile phones, but it did not appear before?
Light does not appear from al-Baqi' except for some people, Allah knows best. But light that is recorded and announced to the people and distributed among the people, all of this is misguidance. So this is not permissible, and spreading this is not permissible.
And the light that shone from the Ka'bah did not shine in the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Night of Decree, nor in the time of the Rightly Guided Caliphs and those who came before, until the owner of this mobile phone comes and records it. All of this is superstition. Yes. May Allah reward you. It has ended. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
