Does the expansion of al-Masjid al-Haram take on the ruling of the mosque?

Question : The Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Does the expansion count as part of the Haram? And is the reward of al-Masjid al-Haram established for all the mosques of Makkah?

Answer : Yes. The scholars say that the expansion of mosques has the ruling of the mosque. So if a mosque is expanded and the expansion is connected to the mosque, it becomes part of it, and its ruling becomes the ruling of the mosque. The evidence for this is that when 'Uthman ibn 'Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) expanded al-Masjid al-Nabawi, and 'Uthman’s expansion was on the side of the qiblah, the Muslims began praying in this addition. If the addition did not have the ruling of the mosque, they would not have prayed in it, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said . On this basis, if additions connected to al-Masjid al-Haram were made to it, their ruling regarding reward would be the ruling of al-Masjid al-Haram. As for the questioner’s statement, is the reward established in all the mosques of the Haram?
The answer to this is that the scholars have two positions on this issue. Some say that the mosques of Makkah, indeed the houses of Makkah, and indeed the desert of Makkah, if they are within the miles, have the ruling of multiplying the reward like the ruling of al-Masjid al-Haram. And some of the scholars say that the multiplication is specific to the mosque in which the Ka'bah is located. As for the other mosques, they are better than the mosques of al-Hal, but this virtue, which is a prayer equal to a hundred thousand, is not attained in them. It is obligatory for
It is obligatory for the believer, when a dispute arises among the scholars, to refer the dispute to the Book and the Sunnah, based on His saying, the Exalted: and His saying: the believers And when we refer this dispute to the explicit text that has come down, it becomes clear to us that the correct and stronger position is that the prohibition of weakening the voice is specific to al-Masjid al-Haram, which is the mosque of the Ka'bah. The evidence for this is the hadith narrated by Muslim, which is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): And since the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) specified it to the mosque of the Ka'bah, it is obligatory for us to specify it to that mosque.
And what indicates this is that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , the intended meaning of al-Masjid al-Haram was the mosque of the Ka'bah. For this reason, one does not travel specifically to the mosques of Makkah other than the mosque in which the Ka'bah is located. So the stronger position is that the multiplication of the reward to a hundred thousand is specific to the mosque in which the Ka'bah is located. But there is no doubt that the mosques of the Haram, meaning the mosques located within or inside the Haram, are undoubtedly better. The evidence for this is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) descended at al-Hudaybiyyah and was staying in al-Hal. And when he wanted to pray, he entered the Haram, because part of al-Hudaybiyyah is from al-Hal and part is from the Haram. This indicates that prayer in the Haram is better than prayer in al-Hal.
