The Location of the Station of Ibrahim and the Footprints in It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
As for the first question of this evening, the questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, was the location of the Station of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the same as this place, or was it adjacent to the Ka'bah? And are the footprints currently present in the Station the footprints of Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
As for the first question, yes. They differed regarding the location of the Station. The view held by the majority is that it was originally attached to the Ka'bah. When the people crowded around it, 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) moved it to its current location during his caliphate in order to alleviate the crowding. This is the view of the majority. The second opinion is that this is its original location; that this is its location from the beginning.
This is the answer to the first question, which is: Where is the location of the Station? As for the second question, which is: Are the footprints currently in the stone the footprints of Ibrahim? Yes, without a doubt, without a doubt they are the footprints of Ibrahim. The Station of Ibrahim is the Station of Ibrahim upon which he stood, and the impression remained in the stone until it was found. This is among the signs of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), among the clear signs that Allah mentioned:[Ali 'Imran 3:97]
