Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from Palestine asks: Is it permissible for us to pray in the Ibrahimi Haram in Hebron, Palestine, given that it contains shrines?
Answer:
It is not permissible as long as there are graves in it. They say there are graves in it; there are many graves in it. So it is a mosque built over graves, and it is not permissible to pray in it. It is not the mosque of Khaleel; it is not a mosque. It is only named after him. Yes, the mosque of Khaleel is the Sacred Mosque. This is the mosque of Khaleel (peace and blessings be upon him), who built it. Ibrahim (peace be upon him) built it. Yes.
