Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Sa'd, in which the benefits are mentioned, that they used to look forward to being in the land of the people of this, and among them is this, is it on the basis of recommendation or on the basis of obligation?
The Shaykh : As for his residence while alive, it is obligatory. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prevented the migrant from residing in Makkah except for only three days after performing his rites.
The presenter : And our Lord loves you.
The Shaykh : The cause, as I told you, is that it is a land he left for the sake of Allah, so he should not return to it, just as one who gives charity does not return to it, so it is not permissible for him to return to it.
The questioner : That his leaving it in the first instance was for a cause, because he was not able to establish the law of Allah the Exalted, but
The Shaykh : I left this land, that is enough, I do not want it.
The questioner : But who is not there, O Shaykh? What are the news of my aunts?
The Shaykh : The Messenger prevented that. The Messenger knows better than me and you.
The questioner : Yes, but this prohibition is general, meaning it also applies in the case of them being polytheists, when they were polytheists.
The Shaykh : I do not say that the one who is granted a dispensation to remain in his sunnah in Makkah is limited to only three days after the rites. Therefore, in the hadith of Sa'd, in the second narration, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan al-Bayhaqi 16:416 The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that if he dies in Makkah
