The questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The questioner : Based on the previous verses, is the Valley of Tuwa considered a Haram, and consequently, what are the forbidden places other than al-Masjid al-Haram and the Prophet’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh : The Holy Valley from which Allah spoke to Musa is not considered a Haram. There is nothing on earth that is forbidden except two places only: the Haram of Makkah and the Haram of al-Madinah. As for al-Masjid al-Aqsa, it is not a Haram, and likewise Wadi Wajj in al-Ta’if is not a Haram. So there is no Haram except two only: the Haram of Makkah and the Haram of al-Madinah.
