Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on kissing the mushaf, and does prayer in the mosques of Makkah equal the reward of prayer in al-Masjid al-Haram?
The Shaykh:
There is no evidence (dalil) regarding kissing the mushaf, nor is there any evidence for this practice, except that some of the Salaf did it, and I think one of the Salaf did it. This requires evidence. Yes, the second matter.
The questioner:
Does prayer in the mosques of Makkah have the reward of al-Masjid al-Haram?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it has the reward of al-Masjid al-Haram. One prayer inside the Haram, within the boundaries of the Haram, is equal to one hundred thousand prayers outside the Haram. However, if one prays in the mosque that contains the Ka'bah, that is better because of its proximity to the Ka'bah and because one can see the Ka'bah; that is better. Yes.
