JEDDAH: The Presidency of the Two Holy Masjids has firmly denied reports that surfaced in Western media channels guaranteeing that the tomb of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in Madinah may be shifted.

Ahmed Al-Mansouri, the presidency’s media spokesman stated, “This is the personal opinion of a researcher, who had expressed his views in a study, and it does not reflect the views of the presidency or the Kingdom.”

The representative urged media channels and experts to cease from spreading theoretical anecdote about significant holy places, asserting that a clause is made against such claims in the presidency's deed.

According to deputy editor-in-chief of the “Makkah” newspaper, “We are discussing the prospect of taking legal action against the British daily with our legal consultants.”

The green tomb on the Prophet's sanctuary was first inherent 678 Hijri, as per a past record printed by the Madinah Municipality.

In 1228, Ottoman ruler Sultan Mahmud II supposedly renewed the shrine and painted it green.
