Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a virtue in praying in the platform that is behind the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), which is known as the place of the people of al-Suffah? Is there a virtue in praying in this place?
Answer:
Al-Suffah now has no known location, and one does not seek out the place that is claimed to be the site of al-Suffah. This is not permissible; it is not permissible to venerate relics, cling to them, or pray in them. This is a religious innovation (bid'ah) and one of the means to shirk (associating partners with Allah). If you want to pray, my brother, the Prophet’s Mosque is long and wide, so pray in any part of it, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
