The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) defined the boundaries of the Haram, but the boundaries of Makkah have changed today; how is that?

The questioner : May Allah forgive you, O Shaykh. If we maintain the boundaries of Makkah and the sacred sites, such as the boundaries of the Ka'bah, 'Arafah, Mina, and Muzdalifah, how can we have any doubt about the boundaries of the structure that Ibrahim established and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) approved, which extends beyond the structure to the location of the miles?
The Shaykh : Who said that? Be absolutely certain that if your house becomes spacious, with part of it inside the miles and part outside, then part of it is Haram and part is Halal. Yes, we said Makkah, but we did not say it is the Haram. If you reach al-Ta'if, it is still Makkah. And the Haram, as I mentioned, has been defined from the time of Ibrahim until this day, praise be to Allah. No, absolutely not. Those in Tan'im who are outside the Haram are in the Halal area, even though the construction is connected.
