Question:
Is the reward for praying in the courtyards of al-Masjid al-Haram at the Gate of Peace the same as the reward for praying inside the mosque?
Answer:
Everything within the miles, all the mosques of Makkah, and all the open spaces of Makkah and all the open spaces of the Haram, prayer in all of them is multiplied to one hundred thousand prayers, yes, the entire Haram. But the closer one is to the Ka'bah, the better it is, yes.
