His statement (the foundations of Ibrahim): Does this imply that Ibrahim was the first to build the Ka'bah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His statement
the foundations of Ibrahim قواعد إبراهيم
Does this imply that Ibrahim was the first to build the Ka'bah?

The Shaykh : There are two opinions on this. The first opinion is that Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) was among the first to build the Ka'bah, and this is the apparent meaning of the Qur'an. The second opinion is that he renewed the construction; he renewed the construction. The first opinion is closer to the truth. As for the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
so it is forbidden by the sanctity of Allah since He created the heavens and the earth فهو حرام بحرمة الله منذ خلق السماوات والأرض
, the meaning is that Allah inscribed its sanctity in the Preserved Tablet. Yes.
