Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, in an article of yours a few days ago regarding the naming of a mosque in Ta'if as the Prophet's Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him). He says: On this day, a journalistic report appeared on a website about a mosque in Tabuk. Its name is also the Prophet's Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him); because he prayed in it on multiple occasions. We ask: Is it called by this name?
Answer:
No, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed in many places during his travels. So are all of them called the Prophet's Mosque? The Prophet's Mosque is in Madinah. This is the Prophet's Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him). And my mosque? My mosque is not called the Prophet's Mosque at all. Rather, the Prophet's Mosque is the third of the mosques to which journeys are madeSahih al-Bukhari 1189.
His statement, "And my mosque is this," indicates that he has no other mosque on earth. However, these superstitious people cling to a spider's thread and want to spread bid'ah (religious innovations); that is their aim. One must be alert to this. Yes.
