Later on, due to security concerns, the Muslim governments stopped the entry of all Non-Muslims to both Makkah and Madina. The practice has been continuing for centuries. Islam is not the only religion that restricts the access of Non-believers to its holy sites.
It should be kept in mind that Non-Muslims including Hindus are allowed to enter into any Masjid of the world except Mecca and Madina. Zakir Naik: As we need a visa to enter any country of the world, one of the visa requirements to enter Mecca and Madina is to be a Muslim.

In the Hindu tradition, which is unfortunately followed by some Muslims, it is the reverse: the bride has to pay a large dowry and provide a family home. This means that a family with a couple of daughters is at a great disadvantage.
Now if all such expenses are to be paid for by one brother, and if his own means are not that good, then that is totally unfair. Our reader should realize that what he did with his marriage is the correct Islamic practice. He should not yield to any pressure on this point.
Moreover, what his parents want to do with the marriage of his sister is not Islamic, but they may have to follow the local tradition. Unfortunately people do not realize that when more and more of them rebel against un-Islamic tradition the sooner these ill-conceived and unfair traditions will collapse. Our reader is wondering whether the fact that his parents are now suffering because he has reduced what he sends them will nullify his good deeds.
The answer is that dutifulness to parents is one of the most important deeds a person does in life after believing in God and Islam. But I understand that he was in the habit of sending them every last riyal he earns, retaining only what he needs for himself and his wife.
That is extremely dutiful. Nothing nullifies his past, exemplary kindness and dutifulness. He also asks whether he has to pay zakah on his salary. What zakah? According to what he says, he does not own anything.
Therefore he is not liable to any zakah. Zakah is payable only when a person owns the threshold of zakah, which is around riyals. If he saves this amount then when he has saved it, that date becomes his zakah date. He should make a note of it. The following year, and every subsequent year, on the same date he calculates what he has. If it is above that amount, he pays zakah on what he owns at the normal rate of 2.
But according to the information he has written, he is not liable to zakah at the present moment. Private answer to Mr. She cannot pray salat nor handle the Holy Quran unless she wears gloves. However, as soon as the last drop of blood has fallen, she can then take a shower, perform ritual ablution Wudhu by which time she has entered into a state of ritual purity Taharah. Najis does not necessarily mean a person has a dirty body.
After taking a hot shower, anyone, of course, would physically be very clean. The ban on non-Muslims entering Mecca and Madinah is based on beliefs, practices and NOT about being physically dirty or anything related to matters of hygiene.
The prohibited areas in Mecca and Madinah which are out of bounds for non-Muslims include the city center and a distance of between km from the Haram Mosque in each city to the Haram border in every direction. In Mecca, there are six main roads leading into and out of the city of Mecca, three from Jeddah, two from Taif and one from the South of Saudi Arabia.
In Madinah, nine major roads lead in and out of the city, three from the East, one from the North and four from the South. At the borders of both cities on the major routes, there are police checkpoints. They are manned by the Saudi traffic police. Here is where they check passports, permits and ID cards of drivers and passengers entering the two cities. Outside of the pilgrimage, Hajj time city residents, all Muslims can enter Mecca and Madinah. In the past and today, non-Muslims do try to enter the two holy cities.
They are not allowed to fly into Madinah airport, so they try their luck by driving up to the checkpoints that are manned 24 hours a day at every main road into the two cities. If you are stopped, you must show your passports, visas and ID cards. You will be asked many questions and if the police have a doubt, they will not allow you through until they are satisfied that you have full permission.
Since the implementation of the Saudi tourist eVisa , and with the massive influx of visitors to the kingdom, officers are being especially vigilant to stop those who should not be there. There are signposts along main routes warning Non-Muslims NOT to try to enter through the checkpoints. You have been warned! The conditions of the Saudi eVisa and Visitor Visa for non-Muslims clearly state that they are permitted to travel anywhere in the kingdom except into the Holy cities of Mecca and Madinah.
In the event of being caught, you will immediately be asked to leave and escorted out of the city.
