Is praying behind the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) harmful?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... a mosque was built on the grave, with the qiblah in front of it ... .
The Shaykh : It is not valid, because this mosque was built on the grave, meaning for the sake of the grave. As for the mosque of the Messenger, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, it was built before he died. It is part of the extension, and the original structure was not on the grave. It does not cause harm because there is a barrier between them.
