The ruling on bringing a funeral into the Prophet's Mosque through the Gate of Mercy
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Many people in al-Madinah al-Munawwarah have the custom of bringing the deceased in through the Gate of Mercy only, and not through the other gates, believing that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) will have mercy on him and forgive him. Is there any validity to this in our pure Shari'ah?
A: I am not aware of any basis for this belief in our lenient Shari'ah. In fact, it is a reprehensible belief that is not permissible to hold. There is no harm in bringing the funeral in through any of the gates, and it is better to bring it in through the gate that causes the least harm to the people praying.
