Visiting the Cave of Hira and the Cave of Thaur

Question

Is there any special virtue for visiting the cave of Hira or the cave of Thaur during hajj or umrah?

Answer

This is not from among the sunnah or mustahab acts which are part of hajj or umrah. However, since the Fuqahaa have mentioned that visiting these mubaarak places is mustahab, one will receive reward through visiting these mubaarak places.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
