The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: In our city, there is a cemetery with a shrine called the Shrine of Sayyid al-Badawi. In the same cemetery, there is an inscribed stone that is said to be the finger of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh:
What Allah willed.
The questioner:
He asks: Is this matter true?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not true. This is invalid. The Prophet did not have a finger made of a pebble. This al-Badawi is the grave of al-Badawi, which is well known in Egypt. This is an idol among the idols that is worshipped besides Allah. It is not permissible. Yes.
