Pilgrimage sites such as Mount Uhud, the Archers, the graves of the martyrs, al-Baqi', the seven mosques, and Quba: Is it prescribed to visit them?

Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the pilgrimage sites in Madinah, such as Mount Uhud, the Archers, the graves of the martyrs, al-Baqi', the seven mosques, and Quba, is it prescribed to visit them?

Answer:
As for Quba, it is a mosque that is visited. Yes, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to visit it, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said to him: meaning Quba. So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to visit it and pray in it every Saturday, walking to it (peace and blessings be upon him). There is no mosque in Madinah for which visiting is prescribed except the mosque of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
And the mosque of Quba. As for the other mosques, they are like all other mosques. If prayer is convenient for you in them, pray in them. If prayer is not convenient for you, go and pray in another mosque. They are all the same; none has any distinction over the others.
Nor Mount Uhud, nor the Mount of the Archers, nor... nor... nor the mosques they call the seven. They are not mosques; they are shrines. They are not mosques. Who said they are mosques? Mosques are built for the five daily prayers. Are these built for the five daily prayers? Are the five daily prayers performed in them? They say they are historical sites; they call them historical sites, but they are alleged and imagined, with no basis for them. So they are lying in this. Yes.
