Question:
What is the ruling on visiting the sites of the Prophet’s biography, such as the Cave of Hira, Mount Uhud, and the Mosque of the Two Qiblas?
Answer:
Answer: Visiting them for the sake of seeking blessing from them, or believing that it is prescribed, is a religious innovation (bid'ah) and is not permissible. However, if one visits them merely to look at them, there is nothing wrong with it. But if one visits them to seek blessing from them or believes that visiting them is prescribed and that there is reward in it, then it is a religious innovation (bid'ah) and is not permissible.
