What is the ruling on visiting the Seven Mosques, Adass Mosque, and other mosques in Makkah to pray in them, in addition to the Prophet's Mosque and Quba Mosque, when visiting Madinah, Taif, and Makkah?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to travel with the intention of visiting the Prophet's Mosque, the tomb of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his two companions, the graves of the people of Baqi', the martyrs of Uhud, and Quba Mosque. As for visiting other mosques and archaeological sites, there is no basis for it, and it must be prevented due to the absence of a شرعي (legal) دليل (proof), the companions not having done so, to block the means (سدًا للذريعة), and due to what it leads to in terms of deceiving the ignorant.
