The questioner:
A questioner asks: Is it Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr who rebuilt the Ka'bah on the foundations of Ibrahim, and restored it exactly as it was?
The Shaykh:
Yes, but al-Hajjaj demolished it on behalf of the Umayyads.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Then the Abbasid caliph wanted to build it on the foundations of Ibrahim after al-Hajjaj. Al-Mansur, Abu Ja'far al-Mansur, wanted to build it on the foundations of Ibrahim after al-Hajjaj, but Malik ibn Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) prevented him and said, "The Ka'bah must not be a plaything in the hands of the princes." So it remained as it was. Yes.
