Al-Fadhikh Mosque
Al-Fadhikh Mosque
A mosque in al-Awali, Madinah, also called the Mosque of the Sun. It is tied to pouring out fadikh at the wine-ban, and to the Banu Nadir siege. Both are traditions, not mutually proven.

Why visit?
Keeps a Madinan mosque with two unsettled reports, and does not replace it with the Haram.
Al-Fadhikh stands in al-Awali, east of Madinah, on the edge of the harra. Some lists also call it the Mosque of the Sun.
The usual name-story: fadikh is a drink of unripe dates, poured out when wine was forbidden. Another ties the spot to the Banu Nadir siege. Madinan books carry both; neither is preferred here without a stronger chain. Not every report is a surveyed first-century mosque.
The earlier photograph is the Prophet's Mosque — a city frame, not this building. The pin is treated as exact for the standing mark if fixed, otherwise as the Awali area.
