Question

I have heard that in Haram-e-Makkah, one Hasanah (good deeds) is equal to one lakh (100,000) Hasanahs and one sin is also equal to one lack. The question is that, is this limited to the mosque of Kābah or the entire Hudood-e-Haram. If this is for the entire Hudood-e-Haram, do the people who live about a mile away receive the same amount of Hasanah or sins (since they are inside the Hudood-e-Haram)? I wanted to know whether all the actions performed in Hudood-e-Haram are equivalent to those that are performed elsewhere or, are they equal to those that are performed in the Masid-e-Haram?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Indeed it is a blessing if one receives an opportunity to perform Salāh in Masjid Al-Harām since Rasullullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said, “Performing Salāh in my Masjid is 1,000 times greater than that Salāh which has been performed elsewhere except for Masjid Al-Harām (Makkah). And the Salāh which has been performed in Masjid Al-Harām is 100,000 times greater than that Salāh which has been performed elsewhere.”[1]

It has been mentioned in Hāshiya Irshād As-Sārī Ila Manāsik Al-Mulla Ali Qāri that the multiplication of good or bad deeds would apply to the complete Haram boundaries (not just the Masjid) Thus, their rewards and sins will be multiplied causing anyone who lives within this boundary to receive immense rewards or sins for their actions.[2]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

حاشية الساري الي مناسك الملا علي قاري (691)

لما روي من ان الحسنة فيها تضاعف الي مائة الف وان السيئة كذالك. وهذا علي تقدير صحة هذه الروايات انها تضاعف بالكمية .والا فلا شبهة ان السيئة تضاعف في حرم الله تعالي باعتبار الكيفية.واجاب الاولون بان ما يخاف من سيئته فيقابل ما يرجي من حسنته.
