Was Isma'il buried in Al-Hatim?
Question:
It is reported in biography books that Ismail, may Allah exalt his mention, was buried in Al-Hatim, in Makkah. If this is true, how can it be permissible to pray in that place?
Answer:
The claim that Isma'il was buried in Al-Hatim is not true, and an unreliable statement. Allah is the one who grants success.
