The ruling on greeting the Prophet and his two companions when visiting Madinah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We conclude this session with a question from Abu Muhammad, who says: I want to travel with my son to the Prophet’s city (Madinah al-Munawwarah). Is it obligatory for me and my son to greet the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his two companions (may Allah be pleased with them both)?
Answer:
It is not obligatory, but it is better and more complete. You are present in the Prophet’s Mosque, having come from a journey, and you are present in the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). It would be a harshness to leave off greeting him and his two companions. Yes.
