Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on keeping a model of the Ka'bah, knowing that I did not buy it but it was given to me as a gift?
Answer:
This is not permissible. A decision has been issued by the Council of Senior Scholars and the Islamic Fiqh Academy prohibiting it, because this is promoted among the common people and the ignorant, and they believe that it contains blessing and such and such. Therefore, this is not permissible.
