Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. Regarding the hadith in the hadith of Ruwwad yesterday, may Allah be pleased with her, that the gate to the region is in his hand, along with the phrase "Honorable Shaykh," he says that there is a governorate belonging to the 'Adi region called the Bab Governorate, and that there is a difference between the two.
Answer:
It is Yemen. Yemen extends from al-Ta'if to everything called Yemen because it is to the right of the Ka'bah. Just as what is north of the Ka'bah is called al-Sham, everything north of the Ka'bah is called al-Sham, and everything south of the Ka'bah is called Yemen. This is in terms of geography, not in terms of political locations; that is a separate matter.
