Question:
What is your opinion, our Shaykh, of the one who kisses the Maqam Ibrahim?
Answer:
That is a mistake. This is a mistake. The Station of Ibrahim is only for praying at; one does not rub against it, nor does one kiss it. One only prays at it. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:125] When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the tawaf, he went out and prayed two rak'ahs at the Station of Ibrahim, placing it between himself and the Ka'bah. He prayed behind it and recited this verse: [Al-Baqarah 2:125]

And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer.
وَاتَّخِذُوا مِن مَّقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّىAnd take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer.
