Using Aisha’s prayer in her house as evidence for praying at graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence. The questioner asks: How does one respond to those who say that praying at graves is permissible, and who cite as evidence for this the prayer of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) in her house?
The Shaykh:
What is her house? It is not a grave or a cemetery. This is Aisha's house, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was buried. It is preserved to prevent extremism, and they have a cemetery. Yes, this is a fallacy. Yes.
The questioner:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence.
The Shaykh:
You go to the grave and pray at the grave of the Messenger, you pray in her house, in the area of her house. Yes.
