The Project of the Prophet’s Traces in Makkah

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there is a project called “Peace be upon you, O Prophet” that commemorates the traces of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He says: Is this project on the right path?

Answer:
This is closed. An order was issued to close it, and it was closed by the Amir of Makkah. If they have reopened it, they must reconsider this action. Yes, this is not correct. Their action is not correct. This means spreading the seeking of blessing from these things that they think are from the possessions of the Messenger or resemble the possessions of the Messenger. This is an innovation and must be prevented, and these things must be destroyed. This is opening a door of evil to the people, to the point where perhaps the common people do not go to Makkah; they go to this place and think that it is sufficient for them instead of going to Makkah.
