Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Sultan says: Honorable Shaykh, we are residents of Ta'if. We go to the Haram and pray the Friday prayer in the Sacred Mosque, then we pray the afternoon prayer with our family, and then we return to our home in Ta'if.
Answer:
This is a good thing, and praise be to Allah. You will be rewarded for it, if Allah wills. Visiting the Sacred Mosque to pray in it: one prayer in it is worth one hundred thousand prayers. One prayer in it is worth one hundred thousand prayers in any other mosque, except the Prophet's Mosque, where one prayer is worth a thousand prayers, and the prayer in the Temple of Solomon is worth five hundred prayers in any other mosque. These three mosques are traveled to for the sake of praying in them and performing i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) in them. Yes.
