Building Domes And Minarets On Mosques (Masjid)
Building Domes And Minarets On Mosques (Masjid)
Please explain to me the significane of the dome and minaret on a mosque (Masjid). It seems every mosques (Masajid) has one . Did the prophet say in some hadith to do this??
Praise be to Allah.
Building domes on mosques (Masajid) is an innovation and an extravagance, so it is not permissible to build them. But if the minaret is needed to make the voice of the muezzin carry as far as possible, or to make the mosque recognizable from a distance so that worshippers can make their way towards it, then the means are subject to the same rulings as the ends, and in this case, building minarets is prescribed.
