Question: Is it permissible for one
performing the Hajj or the 'Umrah, whilst performing the tawaaf,
to enter the Hajar Ismaa'eel?
Response:
It is not permissible for one making tawaaf
of the House (Ka'bah)
during the Hajj or the'Umrah or voluntary tawaaf
to enter the Hajar Ismaa'eel. He is not rewarded for that
if he does so because the tawaaf
is required around the House and the Hajar is part of the
House, for that which Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala) says:
{and
make tawaaf
around the ancient House}, [Soorah
al-Hajj, Aayah
29].
Also,
that which is narrated by Muslim and others on the authority
of 'Aa'ishah (radhi-yallaahu
`anhaa) who said:"I asked the Messenger of Allaah
(sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) regarding the Hajar and he said:
((it
is part of the House))."
And
in another wording, she said: "I vowed to pray inside
the House and he (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) said:
((pray
in the Hajar, for certainly the Hajar is part of the House...))".
And
with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and
salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
