The ruling on seeking blessing from the Maqam Ibrahim and wiping over it

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding seeking blessing at the fourth station, peace be upon him, with them.

Answer:
It is not permissible to seek blessing from the Qur'an. Rather, what is prescribed is to pray near it, using the Maqam Ibrahim as a place of prayer. This was made clear to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) by placing it between him and the Ka'bah, and he prayed two rak'ahs behind the Maqam. This is the correct approach. As for rubbing against it, rubbing one's body against it, or placing papers there—previously, they would direct the windows to accept papers, placing letters addressed to Ibrahim for people from outside, sending them with the pilgrims or those performing 'Umrah, and dropping them through the windows like mail, meaning they wanted them delivered to Ibrahim (peace be upon him). This is among the matters of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. Such things are not permissible. Yes.
