Hijr Ismail (The Shelter of Ismail)

A site adjacent to Ka'ba between both Al-Shami (Syrian) and western corners. It is semi-circular in shape, of which the northern edge is arched. Prescribed prayers are not offered there, as it is part of the Holy Ka'ba, and was adopted by Abraham (PBUH) as shade for his son, Ismail (PBUH).
