A Response to Those Who Cite Aisha’s Prayer in Her House as Evidence for the Permissibility of Praying at Graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner: How does one respond to those who say that praying at graves is permissible, and who cite Aisha’s (may Allah be pleased with her) prayer in her house as evidence for this?
The Shaykh:
It is not a house of graves, nor a cemetery. Aisha’s house is where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was buried, and it is preserved from excess, and it has a cemetery. Yes, this is a fallacy. Yes.
The presenter:
I seek forgiveness from Allah for myself and for you, Your Eminence, father.
The Shaykh:
You go to the grave and pray at the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in her house, in a corner of her house. Yes.
