The Difference Between the Cave of Hira and the Cave of Thawr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is an Egyptian resident in Riyadh. He says: Your Eminence, Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan, what is the difference, O Shaykh, between the Cave of Hira and the Cave of Thawr? And how did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) worship in this cave?
Answer:
There is no difference between them in the legal ruling, and it is not prescribed to perform worship in these two caves, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) hid in them out of necessity, which was fear of the disbelievers. He hid in them out of necessity, not for the virtue of the cave itself. Yes.
