Reward of women for praying in Al-Masjid Al-Haraam and Al-Masjid An-Nabawi
Are the rewards of praying in Al-Masjid Al-Haraam and Al-Masjid An-Nabawi only fixed for men, and not for the women? We know that it is better for the woman to pray at home or the hotel at the time of Hajj or ‘Umrah. How can we convince them of that, specially when they are there at the time of Hajj and ‘Umrah. I read an answer in your fatwa that.. More

Intending to pray in Al-Masjid Al-Haraam and then pray elsewhere
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh, Shaykhs.

Reward of praying in Makkan mosques other than Al-Masjid Al-Haraam
Assalaamu alaykum. My question is regarding offering the prayer in Masjid Al-Haraam in Makkah. Offering one prayer in Masjid Al-Haraam is equivalent to praying one hundred thousand prayers.

How Makkah is secure and safe
Assalaamu alaykum. There are many verses in the Quran and many hadiths that say that Makkah is a secure and safe place. However, in history, we see that there has been some violence in Makkah, and even if in the future, there will be attacks, so how should we interpret these verses then? I mean, how is one to interpret these verses about the security.. More

Traveling to visit graves of Prophets
assalaamu alaykum. Why is it that traveling to visit the graves of Prophets is prohibited while it is desirable to travel to visit the pyramids and other touristic sites, as mentioned in fatwa 90476? The hadith never mentioned travelling to visit the graves; rather, it just states traveling to visit mosques? Why is that traveling to visit the Prophet,.. More

I live in Jeddah, but I have to travel to Riyadh or Dammam, for example, because of my work, and sometimes I have to travel outside Saudi Arabia for different periods of time that may reach up to a week. What should I do when I want to perform prayer at Al-Masjid Al-Haraam after my return?.. More

Wisdom in having walls around the grave of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam
Why are the graves of the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and his two Companions, may Allaah be pleased with them, hidden from view by a curtain and metal mesh? Is this based on the Sharee‘ah? I ask because being able to see the actual grave, without a barrier or perhaps a glass wall while guards and organizers are present, would.. More

The multiplication of offering the prayer in the holy mosque is affiliated to the reward, not to the substitution
I transgressed in sins and abandoned the prayer. I wanted to repent but I could not. I continued to abandon the prayers to the extent that I have to make up for a numerous number of prayers. Then I heard that offering one prayer in the holy mosque is superior to offering one hundred thousand prayers in other mosques as the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi.. More

The Mosque of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, in Al-Madeenah Al-Munawwarah contains the grave of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, may Allaah be Pleased with them. My question is as follows: Is the grave not included inside the mosque? If that is so, how can we reconcile this with the prohibition of.. More
