Question
Some claim that Makkah and Mina due to being adjoined are now one city. According to the Shariah can these two Places merge to form one city?
Answer
The Haram boundaries of Makkah and Mina have been defined and fixed by the Nass of the Shariah. There are specific ahkaam related to these places. Even if the building of the two places adjoin, such ittisaal (joining) will not affect the separate and independent status of Makkah and Mina.
