The Refutation of the Argument for Building Mosques on Graves Based on the Construction of the Prophet's Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What do you say to those who permit building mosques on graves, and who argue that the Prophet's Mosque was built on the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
This is a liar. The Prophet's Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him) was built ten years before the death of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He built it when he arrived in Madinah. He was not buried in the mosque; rather, he was buried in the house of 'A'ishah, outside the mosque. He was not buried in the mosque, nor was the mosque built over him. He was buried in the house of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), which is outside the mosque, as is well known.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
