The Meaning of the Saying of Allah the Exalted: "And let them circumambulate the ancient House."

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : For this reason, our Lord, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:
perform Tawaf around the ancient House." وليطوفوا بالبيت العتيق
[Al-Hajj 22:29]

The student: It is permissible.

The Shaykh : Why?
The students: ...

The Shaykh : Because:
in في
"in" indicates location, and the location is broader than the object located within it, but when He said:
with the House بالبيت
the preposition "with" indicates encompassing, so the circumambulation must include the entire House, and the matter in this is clear. For this reason, I hope my brothers, the students of knowledge, will alert the general public to this error and the great danger.
