Not sure how accurate this report is but in my opinion, I dont think they will do it. Last year they had to redesign the whole expansion plan of Madinah because the original plan was impacting the Rauza Mubarak so upon the advise of some senior scholars, the plan was revised. I doubt that this plan of theirs will end up happening... One of Islam’s most revered holy sites – the tomb of the Prophet Mohamed(pbuh) – could be destroyed and his body removed to an anonymous grave under plans which threaten to spark discord across the Muslim world. The plans, brought to light by another Saudi academic who has exposed and criticised the destruction of holy places and artefacts in Mecca – the holiest site in the Muslim world – call for the destruction of chambers around the Prophet’s grave which are particularly venerated by Shia Muslims. The 61-page document also calls for the removal of Mohamed’s remains to the nearby al-Baqi cemetery, where they would be interred anonymously. independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/saudis-risk-new-muslim-division-with-proposal-to-move-mohameds-tomb-9705120.html
