Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Some people argue that since it is permissible to pray in a mosque that contains a grave, the Stone of Isma'il is the place in which he was buried, and yet it is permissible to pray there.
Answer:
This is a lie. He was not buried there. Whoever says he was buried there is lying. But it is called the Stone of Isma'il because it is a stone cut from the Ka'bah, meaning it is a part of the Ka'bah. As for its attribution to Isma'il, it has no basis, and I do not know of any basis for it. Yes.
