The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : We answered it. We answered it with what? You, how do you raise your hand claiming you know, when you do not know the answer? One who does not know the question does not know the answer. Ah, you want to ask. Abdullah?
The questioner : We know that the Prophet's grave is not in the mosque, but rather in Aisha's house. The chamber was not included in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) nor in the time of the Caliphs, but was only included after the era of the Caliphs. Currently, it is not considered part of the mosque, but rather part of Aisha's house, and it is surrounded by barriers that separate it from the mosque.
The Shaykh : Yes, give me [the answer]. I mentioned three aspects. Zaki.
The questioner : That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated that his grave not be taken as a festival.
The Shaykh : No, you are the last one.
Yes, that is correct. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), O Salah, was not buried in the mosque, and the mosque was not built over him. Do you understand? Rather, he was in a separate house, a known chamber, and it was not in the state it is in now except after many years had passed.
So it does not fall under this.
The questioner : Is it now inside the mosque?
The Shaykh : No, it is outside; rather, it is separate, a separate building.
The questioner : They pray behind the grave,
The Shaykh : Yes, if they pray behind it now, the walls exist and it is surrounded on all sides, meaning it is now in a separate chamber and is considered [separate].
