Question:
If a mosque has the word “مُحَمَّدُ” (SAW) in the wall towards Qibla (like: https://grcfarraz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Migrab-GRC.jpg ) and an image of Rodha-e-Rasul (Grave of Muhammad [SAW]) in the wall in front, is it allowed to pray there?
Answer:
Hundreds of thousands of mihrabs have been engraved or adorned with the name of the Prophet Muhammad — upon him and his family blessings and peace — in Islamic history and architecture, and in his mosque in Medina his grave has been in the direction of the qibla for centuries. There is and has never been any impediment in the Sharia to those two facts by consensus.
