Question:
What is the ruling on visiting places that contain traces of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), such as the Caves of Hira and Thawr?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not visit these caves, nor did his Companions, nor the blessed generations. Visiting them is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and the introduction of something that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1718b Yes.
