### Construction of the Mosque  
According to narrations, during the early days of Islam, some members of the Banī Ḥarām and [[Banī Salama]] tribes complained to [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]] about their living conditions.

The Mosque of Banī Ḥarām (Ar:Masjid Banī Ḥarām) is one of the ancient mosques in Medina, with its origins dating back to the Prophetic era. The mosque is located to the west of Mount Silaʿ, on the right side of the road leading to the Mosques of Fatḥ. It has one dome and one minaret in the northwestern corner. Its length is 16 meters, and its width is 13 meters.

This mosque, which had fallen into ruins before 1388 AH due to the uncertainty of its exact location, was identified and restored through the efforts of a researcher from Medina. It has since been renovated twice.

Name

    • Masjid Banī Ḥarām** is named after its location among the houses of the Banī Ḥarām tribe. This tribe is a subgroup of the main Khazraj tribe.[1] Today, the mosque is also known as Masjid al-ʿUmārī.[2]

Location

Masjid Banī Ḥarām, which some consider part of the Seven Mosques of the Trench,[2] is located to the west of Mount Silaʿ, on the right side of the road leading from Sīḥ Street to the Mosques of Fatḥ.[1] It is 1.68 kilometers away from Masjid al-Nabī.[3]

Construction

According to narrations, during the early days of Islam, some members of the Banī Ḥarām and Banī Salama tribes complained to Prophet Muhammad (s) about their living conditions. The Prophet (s) guided them to settle in the western part of Mount Silaʿ, and they did so.[4] After relocating, the Banī Ḥarām tribe built this mosque, which was later restored by ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz.[5][1] It is reported that the Prophet (s) prayed in this mosque.[6][7] However, some believe the relocation of this tribe and the construction of the mosque occurred during the caliphate of ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb.[8]

History of the Structure

The mosque was in ruins by the 9th century AH, and according to ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Samhūdī, a historian of Medina, only its foundations and some columns remained.[9] However, Shams al-Dīn al-Sakhāwī (d. 906 AH), another historian of Medina, reported its restoration during the same century.[10] Abū Sālim al-ʿAyyāshī, in his travelogue from 1073 AH, mentioned the mosque but described it as ruined.[11]

According to Ibrāhīm al-ʿAyyāshī (d. 1388 AH), a philanthropist from Medina restored the mosque, which had been in ruins until then, under his guidance.[12] In 1400 AH (1979 CE), it was restored again by the Saudi government.[13] In 1410 AH (1990 CE), the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Endowments completely rebuilt the mosque after demolishing the old structure. During this restoration, the mosque was given a minaret and a dome,[5] which, based on available images, was sometimes painted green.[14]

Current Structure of the Mosque

In 2024 CE, Masjid Banī Ḥarām was renovated again, this time with stone-clad walls.[15][3] The mosque has one dome and one minaret in the northwestern corner. Its length is 16 meters, and its width is 13 meters. It also has facilities for ablution in the northeastern corner.[1] The total area is 236.42 square meters, and it can accommodate 172 worshippers.[3]
