Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the pillar on the Mount of Mercy have a basis in the Shari'ah?
Answer:
No, this is an innovation, and I wish it would be removed, because they have started seeking blessing from it now, praying toward it, and rubbing against it. Poor souls, they think that this pillar, which is an innovation on the mountain, was known to the Salaf, and that there was a pillar on it. Yes.
