A woman praying in a hotel room near the Haram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it better for a woman to pray in her hotel room in the area of al-Masjid al-Haram, or is it better for her to pray inside the Haram?
The Shaykh:
Yes, because it is more private for her. Praying in her home is more private for her, so it is better for her. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 566 This applies to mosques in general, and their homes are better for them, whether in Makkah or elsewhere, in al-Madinah or elsewhere.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A man sends a message every Friday,
The Shaykh:
Then we inform you, may Allah grant you success, that al-Masjid al-Haram is not limited to the mosque of the Ka'bah. Al-Masjid al-Haram is everything inside the Haram. All the mosques in Makkah are within al-Masjid al-Haram. Praise be to Allah, the matter is broad. Do not restrict yourselves. Yes.
