Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) grave inside the mosque?
Answer:
It is in Aisha’s house, and the entire house is within the mosque.
Q: So, is it considered inside the mosque?
A: It is not considered [inside the mosque] in that sense, because it is in the house. However, when al-Walid ibn 'Abd al-Malik expanded the mosque, it was included. He erred in this, but what is in the mosque—the house that is in the mosque—is independent.
Q: And the dome?
A: It was placed there by some later Turks in the ninth or tenth century, and it is an error on their part.
