Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We ask: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the 'Umrah of al-Qada', were the idols around the Ka'bah at that time?
Answer:
Yes, but they did not prevent [the believers] from performing tawaf and sa'y, because it is among the symbols of Allah, and the idols do not affect it. Yes, for that reason, they used to perform tawaf around the House while there were three hundred and sixty idols on it, and they did not refrain from praying at it or performing tawaf around it. However, they left [the idols] because they were unable to remove them. So when Allah enabled them, they removed them. Yes.
