The Dome over the Prophet's Grave and When It Was Placed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, when was the dome placed over the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? What is its ruling? And why is it not removed?
Answer:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was buried in his chamber, and his chamber was certainly roofed; it had a ceiling. When the later sultans, the Mamluk sultans, came, they rebuilt the structure behind the grave out of affection for him and to prevent anyone from reaching it.
As a precaution, they dug a trench around it until they reached the water table, then they poured in iron and a strong foundation so that no one could dig and reach the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). They installed windows and provided complete protection, and they placed this dome above it for the purpose of preserving the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
