The multiplied prayer reward in Al-Masjid Al-Haram is a debated topic among scholars.

We are not allowed to pray in camel pens, so why was the Prophet’s Mosque built in the place where the camel knelt down?
Camel pens are the places that they frequent. Thus it becomes clear that there is no contradiction between this prohibition on praying in camel pens and the hadith of the Hijrah. The camel’s sitting in that place was a transient event, so the place where it knelt down was not regarded as a camel pen or a place frequented by camels in which we are forbidden to pray. Similarly, the prohibition on praying in camel pens only applies so long as the place remains like that and is still frequented by camels. But if it is cleaned and the dirt in it is removed, and a mosque is built in that place, then there is no prohibition on praying in it and it is not disliked to do so.Saying salaam when entering the mosque
