No, Masjid Nabawi is not bigger than Masjid al-Haram.
Based on available information, Masjid al-Haram in Mecca is larger than Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina.
Comparing the Size
According to the reference provided, Al-Masjid an-Nabawi "is now one of the largest mosques in the world after the al-Haram mosque in Mecca." This explicitly positions Masjid al-Haram as the larger of the two.
While exact current size figures (area, capacity) can vary based on expansions over time, the relative size comparison stated in the reference is consistent with their status:
- Masjid al-Haram: The largest mosque in the world and the holiest site in Islam, surrounding the Kaaba. Its immense size accommodates millions of pilgrims, especially during Hajj and Umrah.
- Al-Masjid an-Nabawi: The second holiest site in Islam, located in Medina. It is the second largest mosque globally, after Masjid al-Haram.
Therefore, the statement from the reference confirms that Masjid al-Haram holds the position as the larger mosque.
