Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh: Salih, a questioner says: Is the trace in the Maqam Ibrahim the trace of the feet of Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
Without a doubt, these are the footprints of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) when he stood on them while building the Ka'bah. When the structure rose, he would stand on them and use them to elevate himself and build upon them. This is among the signs of Allah. Allah the Exalted said:[Ali 'Imran 3:97] The station of Ibrahim. Allah preserved it as a sign. The location of the footprints is known, and people see them from behind the glass to take heed from it. Allah said: [Al-Baqarah 2:125] Yes.

In it are clear signs [such as] the standing place of Abraham. And whoever enters it shall be safe.
فِيهِ آيَاتٌ بَيِّنَاتٌ مَّقَامُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمَن دَخَلَهُ كَانَ آمِنًاAnd take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer.
وَاتَّخِذُوا مِن مَّقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى
