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?

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?
