Seeking Blessing from the Ka'bah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Are there any specific characteristics of Makkah or the Ka'bah regarding seeking blessing from its stones or traces?
Answer:
It is not among the characteristics of Makkah for a person to seek blessing from its trees or stones. Rather, among the characteristics of Makkah is that one does not cut down its trees or mow its grass, due to the prohibition by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of doing so, except for the idhkhar plant. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made an exception for it because it is used for houses and the bellows of blacksmiths, as well as for filling the gaps in the bricks of a grave. Based on this, we say that the stones of the Haram or Makkah do not contain anything from which one seeks blessing by rubbing against them, transporting them to other lands, or the like.
