Is the multiplied reward in Madinah and Makkah specific to prayer only?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the multiplied reward in Madinah and Makkah specific to prayer only, or does it apply to all deeds? And is it specific to al-Masjid al-Haram in Makkah, or does it apply to the entire Haram?
The Shaykh:
The text specifies prayer; the text specifies that prayer is multiplied. As for the other deeds, there is no doubt that performing them in the Haram is better, but we do not say that the multiplication applies to them in the same way it applies to prayer. This multiplication is specific to prayer. As for the virtue of worship in the Haram, or in either of the two Harams, there is no doubt that it is better than worship outside the Haram. And the rest of the question.
The questioner:
He says, may Allah keep you safe: Is the virtue of prayer in al-Masjid al-Haram specific to al-Masjid al-Haram only, or does it apply to the entire Haram?
The Shaykh:
It includes everything within the miles, everything where hunting is forbidden and cutting a tree is forbidden is al-Masjid al-Haram. Yes.
