Is it understood from what Al-Albani mentioned in "Ahkam al-Jana'iz wa Bid'iha" (p. 329, heresy no. 176 and 178) that the railing and the panels on the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are an impermissible heresy, and what is the ruling on the extravagant spending of vast sums of money on the Kaaba, coating it with gold, and its golden door?

Al-Albani's assertion that building structures on graves, dwelling in them, and placing railings around graves are innovations was preceded by Ibn al-Hajj. As for spending vast sums of money on thebah unnecessarily, or making its door of gold, this is impermissible due to extravagance and the use of prohibited gold, as mentioned in "Nihayat al-Muhtaj."
