The ruling on believing in the sanctity of the shrines in Makkah and al-Madinah

Question:
Some of the brothers who benefit from the Kingdom believe or say that all the shrines in al-Madinah, or in Makkah, are sacred places. They also visit, for example, the Cave of Hira and the Cave of Thawr, and Mount al-Rahmah, saying that they are sacred places.

Answer:
This is a mistake. There are no sacred places. This is a mistake. It is not said of the Cave of Thawr, or of Hira, or of the birthplace of so-and-so, that it is a sacred place. This is because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not sanctify it. When Allah revealed the prophethood to him, he did not visit Hira afterwards, nor did he pray in Hira afterwards, nor did he call for it to be visited, and the Companions did not visit it. This indicates that it is not sacred and is not to be visited. The same applies to the Cave of Thawr; he did not visit it afterwards, and the Companions did not visit it, which indicates that it is not sacred and is not to be visited, and it is not recommended to visit it. Likewise, in al-Madinah, only the mosques in which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed are visited, such as the Mosque of Quba, in which he prayed. The Baqi' is visited to greet the dead, specifically by men. The martyrs of Uhud are recommended to be visited to greet them and make du'a for them, by men. However, it is not said of the graveyards that they are sacred, because there is no evidence for this. But they are visited to make du'a for their inhabitants, to seek mercy for them, and to take a lesson and a reminder. The graves contain a warning and a reminder. So the Muslim visits them to greet them, make du'a for them, and follow the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions in that. But he does not visit them to make du'a at them or pray at them. No, this is wrong. He also does not visit them to recite at them; this is not prescribed. But he visits them to greet them and make du'a for them, like the Baqi' in al-Madinah, the martyrs of Uhud in al-Madinah, al-Ma'la in Makkah, and the rest of the graves in every land. The Muslim visits them to greet them and make du'a for them, but without traveling specifically for them. One does not travel for them; one only visits them if one is in their land. Yes.
This is what is prescribed. Women do not visit graves; because it is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he cursed the woman who visits graves, and because they are a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and their patience is little. So from the wisdom of Allah is that He forbade them from visiting graves and made it haram (forbidden) for them. Yes.
