Is there any Sharia impediment to opening the grave of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to see his noble face, knowing that Allah has forbidden the earth from consuming the bodies of the prophets?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The Prophets are alive in their graves, and the deeds of their communities are presented to them on Friday. It is not permissible, according to Islamic law, to open their graves, because the law has forbidden excavating graves unless they have decayed, and the earth does not consume the bodies of the Prophets.
