The reason for not wiping the Sham and Western corners
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) mentioned that one does not wipe the Sham corner and the Western corner. He asks: What is meant by this, and why are they not wiped?
Answer:
Because they are not on the foundations of Ibrahim. They are inside the Ka'bah, because the Ka'bah is short on those two sides; it has a remainder in al-Hatim, in the stone of Isma'il. Therefore, they are not wiped. The Yemeni corner and the Black Stone corner are on the foundations of Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
