What is the ruling on cutting a piece from the covering of the Ka'bah and keeping it for seeking blessing?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman circumambulated the Ka'bah, and during the tawaf she cut a thread from the covering of the Ka'bah to seek blessing from it, and she placed it in a mushaf, and she wants to take it to her country. What is the ruling on that?

Answer:
This is ignorance, this is ignorance, and it is not permissible to take anything from the covering of the Ka'bah. One does not seek blessing from it; seeking blessing from it is part of ignorance. So this is a mistake, and do not repeat such a thing, and do not seek blessing from this piece. She has erred in cutting something from the covering of the Ka'bah.
