I have recently seen a picture of the Prophet's (SAW) kabr (grave). Is it real or is some other kabr shown? It's decorated with clothes with Arabic lettering over it in gold.

Question

Jazakallah Khair

Answer

We have been informed by reliable authorities that this picture is not the picture of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam)'s grave. The grave of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) is simple, covered with a green cloth similar to the pattern of the Kiswa. It is a simple stone without any turbans or sheets around it.

Ask AskImam

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
