Question:
Finally, Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is the trace at Maqam Ibrahim the footprints of Ibrahim (peace be upon him)? And what is the meaning of the verse[Al-Baqarah 2:125]
Answer:
Yes, the two traces are the footprints of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) when he was building the Ka'bah. When the structure rose, he brought a stone and stood on it, raising the stone to build and then lowering it. The traces of his feet are in the rock; this is the trace that exists. As for the meaning of His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He)[Al-Baqarah 2:125], the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explained it when he finished the tawaf. He went to Maqam Ibrahim, placed it between himself and the Ka'bah, and prayed two rak'ahs, the two rak'ahs of tawaf, behind Maqam Ibrahim. Yes.
