Entering
the Sacred Mosque |
1-
Thinking that entering the Sacred Mosque is confined to a specific
door is a common mistake, because it is permissible to enter there
through any of its doors.
2-
Reiterating special supplications upon entering the Sacred Mosque
is a matter of heresy, because it is not mentioned in the Prophetic
Sunnah that there are certain supplication on that occasion other
than those which are usually said on entering the mosque.
3-
Thinking that a pilgrim is not to perform two greeting Rak`ahs
on entering the Sacred Mosque is also a common mistake, because the
Sacred Mosque is like any other mosque. All mosques are to be
greeted with two Rak`ahs. But one who intends performing
circumambulation around the Ka`bah doesn’t have to perform such
two Rak`ahs, because circumambulating around the Ka`bah is
enough and sufficient for him.
