Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling on standing at the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to make supplication?
The Shaykh : We see that this is a religious innovation (bid'ah) because it is not established, and the Salaf (the earliest generations) did not stand there.
The questioner : Shaykh, is it possible to have three minutes for questions?
The Shaykh : By Allah, it is not suitable. I say, "The foundation is cracked; I fear the wall will fall, like the Dam of Ma'rib." And I presented the questions to you before, meaning we did not bring the benefits until after I said, "Does anyone have a question?" and you answered.
The student: ... the benefits
The Shaykh : Yes... the benefits, may they be in the next lesson, if Allah wills. Write them down so you do not forget.
