Is it permissible to seek blessing from the Maqam Ibrahim (peace be upon him)?

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to seek blessing from the Maqam Ibrahim (peace be upon him)?

The Shaykh:
No, this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). The verse says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained this, for when he finished the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), he went and prayed at the Maqam Ibrahim, placing it between himself and the Ka'bah, and he prayed two rak'ahs. So nothing other than this is done at the Maqam Ibrahim.

The questioner:
Likewise, may Allah preserve you, is it prescribed to seek blessing from the curtains of the Ka'bah?

The Shaykh:
One does not seek blessing from the stones of the Ka'bah, nor from its curtain, nor does one cling to its doors. All of this is from the innovators. What is the basis for this? Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the young boy.

The Shaykh:
Nothing of the Ka'bah is touched for blessing except the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone only. Yes.
