Question:
Is it true that our master Isma'il (peace be upon him) and his mother Hajar are buried in the Well of Isma'il?
Answer:
This is the claim of the superstitious. They say that seventy prophets are buried in the Well, because their hearts are attached to graves and the dead. They even want the Ka'bah to contain graves, may Allah protect us from that. This is a lie and a fabrication.[Al-Hajj 22:26].
Purifying the House from shirk (associating partners with Allah) is more important than purifying it from ritual impurities. Purification is general, but shirk is the priority for which the House should be purified.
No graves are to be placed in it, and it is not permissible to pray at graves. Nor is it permissible to make supplication at graves. Thus, the sanctuary of Allah and the House of Allah are protected from these superstitions and these lies. Yes.
