Salat: Reward For Prayers In Haram & Haram Area (Q & A) What is the ruling regarding offering prayers in one of the small mosques close to Haram? Does the person get the same reward as he receives when he or she prays in the Haram? If someone is getting late for a prayer, is it better to rush to the Haram or just pray in one of those small mosques. If we recall the Hadith about the extra reward for prayers, it speaks of three mosques: Al-Aqsa, the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah and the Haram in Makkah. A prayer in the first is rewarded as highly as 500 prayers, while in the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, it earns the reward of 1000 prayers. A prayer in the Haram is credited with a reward equal to that given for one hundred thousand prayers. This is then a special reward for worship offered in particular mosques. Had it been the Haram area that the Prophet, peace be upon him mentioned, then it would have applied to other mosques in Makkah, and indeed to any place in the city, since it is all within the Haram area. To sum up, the special reward is for prayer offered in the Haram, not its area. As such, prayer in other mosques in Makkah receive just the normal reward for prayer. However, if one is late, it is better to offer his prayer in any mosque, rather than run toward the Haram. Running to the mosque is discouraged by the Prophet, peace be upon him. One can easily finish his prayer and go to the Haram for Tawaf. (Source: Our Dialogue--Arab News, Jeddah)
