Question:
One of the listening brothers identified himself as Yusuf Uthman Yusuf. He sent a message, and in one of his questions he said: If a person performs the obligatory Hajj in the most complete manner, but does not visit the grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and does not go to Al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, is there any sin upon him for that?
Answer:
There is no sin upon him. Hajj is independent, and the visit is independent. Therefore, visiting is not a condition of Hajj, nor one of its pillars, nor one of its obligations. So if he performs Hajj and does not visit Madinah, and does not visit the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he owes nothing. His Hajj is complete. However, it is recommended that he visit Madinah and pray in the Prophet’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him) at any time. He should visit Madinah because the Messenger (peace be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 325Sahih (Darussalam), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .
So it is recommended for him to visit Al-Masjid al-Nabawi, and to greet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his two companions: Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and 'Umar. He should visit Quba and pray two rak'ahs in the Mosque of Quba. He should visit Al-Baqi' and greet the people in the graves. Likewise, he should greet the martyrs at Uhud. All of this is a recommended practice (sunnah). However, traveling (shadd al-rihal) is for the mosque. One travels with the intention of the mosque. Then, when he arrives in Madinah, he greets him and his two companions, visits the Mosque of Quba, and greets those buried in Al-Baqi' and at Uhud. This is the recommended practice (sunnah). Yes.

Salat is this Masjid of mine is better than a thousand Salat in another, except for Masjid Al-Haram.
صلاةٌ في مسجدي هذا، خيرٌ من ألف صلاة فيما سواه، إلا المسجد الحرامDo not travel (shadd al-rihal) except to three mosques: the Sacred Mosque, this mosque of mine, and Al-Masjid al-Aqsa
لا تشد الرحال إلا إلى ثلاث مساجد: المسجد الحرام، ومسجدي هذا، والمسجد الأقصىSo it is recommended for him to visit Al-Masjid al-Nabawi, and to greet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his two companions: Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and 'Umar.
