Assalaamu alaikum,
Jazaakallah khairan katheeran for these pictures. I had read a lot about the expansion but this is the first time I've seen the areas for demolition marked out in pictures, along with a predicted photo of the finished expansion. The umbrellas in the inner courtyard were long overdue. May Allah reward whoever thought of it. I wander if the new baab midway between Baab al Umrah and Baab al Fatah will be named after the current king or whether it will have some other name. Have you heard anything with regards to this yet?
Jazaakallah khairan again and salaams.

Salam, I think they should keep some places in Makkah and Madinah as a resevation or untouch for historical sites, without demolishing its original landscape in the time of Rasul(PBUH)and places which are sacred with full of histories with lessons into something different. I am aware that the Hajj will attract more people from its previous years, therefore more development and services are needed for the pilgrims. But there should be some other alternatives, like for example how to make life easier for more and more pilgrims every year without changing the environment as much as possible to meet both the expansion of the Two Holy Mosques in Makkah and Madinah to accomodate worshippers and to keep its original heritage and landscape as it was at the time of the Prophet(PBUH), especially places which are seen or mentioned as significant. Apart from expansion, I think some areas need the natural environment which I feel is important and leaving it exactly as it was in the time of Rasul(PBUH) gives the pilgrim the divine understanding how the prophet(PBUH) lived and makes the Heart clear from all obstacles. It should be noted that it will be alot easier for pilgrims to focus the rewards of the life hereafter for performing the sacred rituals during Hajj, especially when the hearts are clear from obstacles.

I'm not against the expansion, but a balance is required for both without harming the environment which are seen as Sacred or Holy by many Muslims, especially with the rules of ihram are implied.
