The questioner : What is the ruling on placing a dome in houses, and is it true that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) refrained from greeting the one who placed a dome, and what is meant by this? Do you mean a dome in the house?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment:
A dome on houses is one of the styles of construction. The original ruling for matters other than acts of worship is permissibility and lawfulness until evidence emerges prohibiting it. I do not know of any evidence prohibiting it, except if the dome is built in the shape of a church or something similar to it; from this point, the prohibition arises.
As for what he mentioned regarding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) boycotting the owner of the house that had a dome, I do not know of it, and I do not think it is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Domes were not known at that time.
