Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it true that the Hijr is called the Hijr of Isma'il (peace be upon him) and that he is buried in it? Yes.
Answer:
This is invalid, this is invalid. So this is part of the Ka'bah, and no one is buried in it. But the people of graves and the worshippers of graves spread these rumors, saying that the Ka'bah is built on graves so that they justify the worship of graves. This is all invalid, and may Allah purify His House from these lies. There are no graves in the Hijr or in the Ka'bah. Yes.
