The Ruling on Visiting the Quba' Mosque for Ten Days to Pray in It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, a man went to the Prophet’s city (Madinah) and stayed there for ten days. Every day he performs wudu (ablution) in his lodging and goes to Quba to pray two rak'ahs, then returns. Is this practice prescribed so that I may thereby receive the reward associated with it, with Allah’s permission?
Answer:
No, this is not prescribed. Repeatedly visiting the Quba Mosque is not prescribed. Going there once is sufficient. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go to Quba every Saturday to pray there, then return (peace and blessings be upon him). If one visits the Quba Mosque and prays there, he has fulfilled the recommended practice (sunnah) and the recommended act (mustahabb) in that matter, and there is no need for repetition. If he has a desire for good, let him pray in the Prophet’s Mosque. He should pray whatever Allah makes easy for him of obligatory and voluntary prayers in the Prophet’s Mosque. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
