Q
What considerations did the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) have regarding changes to the Ka`ba due to the people’s recent conversion from pre-Islamic practices?
A
Ibn Az-Zubair said to me, “Aisha used to tell you secretly a number of things. What did she tell you
about the Ka`ba?” I replied, “She told me that once the Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘O `Aisha! Had not your people
been still close to the pre-Islamic period of ignorance (infidelity)! I would have dismantled the Ka`ba
and would have made two doors in it; one for entrance and the other for exit.” Later on Ibn Az-Zubair
did the same.
