Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it true that the Station of Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) was originally adjacent to the Ka'bah and was then moved later?
Answer:
Yes, it was adjacent to the Ka'bah, but during the time of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, there was severe crowding, so he moved it away from the Ka'bah to its current location to facilitate things for those performing tawaf.
