The reason for naming the Hajar Isma'il
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Regarding the naming of the stone as Hajar Isma'il, is it true that the reason for the name is that Isma'il (peace be upon him) is buried in it?
Answer:
No, that is not true, and Isma'il (peace be upon him) was not buried in it. It is called the Hajar because it was enclosed within the Ka'bah. When the funds of the Quraysh became insufficient, and they did not build the Sacred Mosque—the Ka'bah—except with lawful money, when their funds ran short, they left the stone outside the structure. So it is part of the Ka'bah. Yes.
