Questions 63 with Shaykh Saleh as-Sadlan

Questions asked to Shaykh Saleh ibn Ghunam as-Sadlaan [May Allaah preserve him] in his house after Salaat al-Jumu‘ah, ar-Riyadh
20/5/1435 – 21/3/2014

Question: Is it true that historical relics or buildings have been destroyed in Saudi Arabia and do they have relevance in worship?

Answer: Nobody should be attached to places or buildings, the only thing that must remain is the Ka’bah. It remains as it is and it can not be destroyed, this is what the Salaf ruled. In the past the Ka’bah had been effected by floods and fire, so they restored the building and at times they would change its shape, however the scholars thereafter agreed that it is not permissible thereafter to change anything from its shape. Its has been renovated as the Prophet renovated it, and the shape we see today is the shape that existed in his day.

And Allaah Knows best.
