Bab al-Mujahidiyyah, also called Bab al-Rahmah, was a gate on the south-eastern side of Masjid al-Haram. Al-Fasi explains that it took its name from the madrasa of al-Malik al-Mujahid, ruler of Yemen, which stood beside it. Al-Azraqi counted it, with its two neighbours, among the gates of Banu Makhzum, whose houses were on this side of the mosque. The gate was removed when Masjid al-Haram was enlarged in the twentieth century. Its site lies inside the present mosque, about 75 metres south-east of the Ka'bah.
