Is Masjid Al-Aqsaa a Haram?
Benefit:
“Masjid Al-Aqsaa is not a Haram as Ibn Taymiyyah may Allaah have mercy on him mentioned, but verily there are two Harams only, the Haram of the Prophet Ibraaheem ﷺ (Masjid Al-Haraam) and the Haram of our Prophet ﷺ (Masjid An-Nabawi), what is between its two mountains. So nothing is called Haram except these two: Haram Al-Makki and Haram Al-Madani, and Masjid Al-Aqsaa is not called Haram, but verily it is a virtuous/honored Masjid. Journeys are set out to it just like journeys are set out to the Haramain, and the reward of praying in it is like 250 prayers.”
