Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this person asks: Tell us about the noble verse in which He, Blessed and Exalted is He, said:
And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer.وَاتَّخِذُوا مِن مَّقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى
[Al-Baqarah 2:125]


Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explained this when he finished the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah). He came to the Maqam (station) and placed it between himself and the Ka'bah, and he recited this verse:
And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer.وَاتَّخِذُوا مِن مَّقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى
[Al-Baqarah 2:125]
Then he prayed two rak'ahs, which are called the two rak'ahs of tawaf. If one is able to pray the two rak'ahs of tawaf at the Maqam, that is better. Otherwise, he prays them in any place of al-Masjid al-Haram, in its corridors, on its roof, or in the courtyard of the mosque. Yes.
