The ruling on praying inside the Ka'bah with an entry card bearing another person's name

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: One day I prayed inside the Ka'bah, and I did not enter it until I carried an identification card that bore a name that was not my name, but rather the name of one of those who were permitted to enter. His question is: Is my action correct, or is there a sin upon me? And what is obligatory for me to do?

Answer:
You did not take anyone's right, nor did you wrong anyone. There is no harm, if Allah wills. Yes.
