Moving the Station of Ibrahim to another location
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: You mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that the Station of Ibrahim was attached to the Ka'bah, and then 'Umar ibn al-Khattab returned it to its current location. He asks: Based on that, is it permissible to move it to another location as well?
Answer:
It should not be moved, because Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) wanted to move it from its location to a wider place to provide more space for the pilgrims. Some scholars objected, so they left it as it was. They removed the structure that was originally built over it, removed the structure, and placed the glass frame over it, and it remained in its location, and praise be to Allah. Now it does not harm anyone, and no one stumbles over it during the tawaf. Yes.
