What is the ruling on placing images of the Ka'bah in the ihram and writing the testimony of faith
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A second question, Shaykh, may Allah bless you. Some pilgrims put in their ihram the phrase "There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" and images of the Noble Ka'bah, may Allah bless you. Then they go to places, I mean, to purify the drink and such things. I ask for your advice.
The Shaykh : This is a mistake, a great mistake, and it is an exaggeration and a disrespect to the dhikr, may Allah protect us from that.
The presenter : Now, the third question, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Our Muslim brothers, and we say that the exaltation of Allah the Exalted is in the heart, and the exaltation of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is by following him. We must not go beyond the Shari'ah. It is enough for us in terms of pride, religion, and character that we do what we are commanded to do and strive to do so.
