Resting Place of Sayyida Amina bint Wahab (as)

Question:

In al-Abwa there is a site on top of a mountain that’s commonly accepted and visited as the resting-place of Sayyida Amina bint Wahb عليها السلام. Has this particular location been mentioned by any of the Ulama or in any texts? Especially as some of narrations mention a graveyard.
Jazakallah Khayran for your time and guidance Shaykh.

Answer:

Yes it is her grave as mentioned in the hadith to that effect. It does not matter if there is a cemetery around it or it has disappeared.

As for her grave under a dome in Medina in the time of the Ottomans, it was a maqam erected by them out of piety for people to visit and supplicate there, not her historic grave.

Wassalam,

Hajj Gibril Haddad
