What is the ruling on raising one's voice next to the grave of the Messenger of Allah, Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, and what is the ruling on what sometimes occurs from the security personnel of the Two Holy Mosques when organizing visitors?
Allah has commanded His servants to show respect and reverence to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Among the manifestations of this is not raising one's voice above his voice, which applies to his sanctity both during his life and after his death. Scholars have disliked raising the voice at the Prophet's grave, and they have cited hadiths indicating Umar ibn al-Khattab's prohibition of raising voices in the Prophet's Mosque.
An exception to this is raising the voice out of necessity or for a recognized benefit, such as raising the voice for the call to prayer (adhan), or the iqamah (call to commence prayer), or teaching knowledge, or forbidding innovations (bidah), or organizing the movement of visitors, provided that this is done in the most appropriate manner befitting the place, while observing proper etiquette and respecting the sanctity of the Prophet's Mosque.
