The questioner : The Shaykh, may Allah reward you, some of the defenders of building shrines
The Shaykh : answered
The questioner : Some of the defenders of building shrines answered these hadiths by saying that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade building on them, but we build around them?
The Shaykh : We seek help from Allah. Say, is it not said that a dome of leather was built over it? Does that mean they drive the stakes into the back of the person? But those who say this are non-Arabs or in the status of non-Arabs who do not know the Arabic language. Did you understand?
Yes, Salim.
