Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah inform you, what is the ruling on one who matches the dimensions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) which are claimed to be the dimensions of his tomb? Is it known to be a place of shirk (associating partners with Allah)?
Answer:
This is invalid, this is invalid. What is there of worship of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that exists now? After fifteen centuries. It exists now? Yes. All of this is where people bring bones and say these are the bones of the Messenger, and they bring hair and say this is hair from him, in order to make a living from it, and to mislead people with it.
