By the looks of it, not everyone is allowed to go into the kaaba, so why are the royal family allowed? they are not special.
and if u are allowed to pray in the kaaba, can u face any way cos your always facing the kaaba? but then ur facing the inside not the outside. does it matter if u face the inside or outside?
Noone can allowed to pray inside the kaabah brother.But i think its Kabah Management Autority who take care of it by the grace of allah swt enter with king.
My question what’s the benefit of entering the Kab'a? more rewards...?
If they let every one enter the Kab'a can you Imagine how many millions will try to enter, the only reason they enter kaba is to clean it from inside that all there is no prayer performed inside the kab'a.
I think the pictures were of the cleaning of the Ka'ba. The following is from The Saudi Arabia Information Resource:
"Makkah, 4 September, 2005
On behalf of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, Prince Abdulmajeed bin Abdulaziz, the Governor of Makkah region, will wash tomorrow the Holy Kaaba as it is customary every year.
A number of senior officials, Ulema (Muslim scholars) and members of the accredited Islamic diplomatic corps to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will participate in the ceremony."
I think after all This kind of debate doesn't helpful for us. Making arguments which does make any sense and gain our Iman..so i would like to make humble request to my brothers and sister to stop this kind of debate here..
the door of Kaaba,is very beautiful how much more in the inside! my uncle told me when he was a live that he recite their in Quran and slept inside the kaaba..how i wish i follow him.
I saw the saudi royal family while making Hajj(2006/2007) They are making Tawaf with a group of soldiers around them... Really comfortable while others walk trough this crowd...
