Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is the virtue of a hundred thousand prayers in al-Masjid al-Haram general for all of Makkah, or is it specific to the mosque that contains the Ka'bah?
Answer:
It is correct that it applies to all of the Haram, praise be to Allah, because the entire Haram is called al-Masjid al-Haram. It is correct that it applies to all of the Haram, and this relieves people from the crowds, pressure, and congestion, praise be to Allah. All the mosques in Makkah are in the qiblah; if one prays in any of the mosques, he gets the reward that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned. There is no doubt that prayer in the Ka'bah is better, but the virtue obtained is in the entire Haram, praise be to Allah. This indicates the strong faith of the Companions, and this is what one should ask oneself.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
