The questioner : Regarding the Ka'bah that ... Ibrahim (peace be upon him) built, but is there evidence that its foundations were built before Ibrahim or existed before Ibrahim?

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Did you say, if Allah wills? Then we ask your permission to leave.
