Was it reported that the Maqam Ibrahim was attached to the Ka'bah, and that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab moved it away due to the crowd?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, was it reported that the Maqam Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) was attached to the Ka'bah, and then 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), when he saw that the crowd had increased, moved it away from the Ka'bah?

Answer:
This is the well-known view, yes, this is the well-known view that it was attached to the Ka'bah, so when the crowd came, 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) placed it in this location. The second opinion is that this is its original location, and it was not attached to the Ka'bah.
There is scholarly disagreement on this issue, and due to the disagreement that arose, when they wanted to expand the area, they did not remove it from its location, even though a fatwa was issued to remove it, but when disagreement among the scholars occurred and some conflict arose, they decided that it should remain in its location and they placed a frame over it to preserve it, and the benefit in this solution was that, praise be to Allah, the conflict ceased and the Maqam remained in its location. Yes.
