Supplication at the Prophet’s Grave in al-Masjid al-Nabawi
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. In al-Masjid al-Nabawi, some of the worshippers face the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), raise their hands, and murmur supplications, then leave. What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
And he claims that he is greeting the Messenger. When we look at the apparent, as for the hidden, we do not know. If he faces the direction to greet the Messenger, that is his apparent action. As for him making supplication between himself and his self, something we do not hear, that is between him and Allah, and he has no sin. Yes, so we can prevent people and say: Do not greet the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
