Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: We have seen a green dome over the grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Prophet’s Mosque, and the matter confused us. What is the ruling on this, given the doubts in my heart?
Answer:
No, there are no doubts. This dome is the roof of the room. The room was roofed on the day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was buried; it had a roof and walls. So this is in the position of a roof, except that some sultans... and the dome is old; it is not new. It dates back to the era of the sultan before Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi. This dome was renovated, and it is a cover for the grave, no more and no less, except that it was made in the shape of a dome. Otherwise, it is a roof for the grave. Is there anything wrong with this? Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
