Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah named the Kaaba "Al-Bayt Al-" (the Sacred House) in His Glorious Book, and attributed it to Himself as a mark of honor and reverence, as stated by Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him). It was so named because Allah has magnified it and forbidden fighting and hunting within its precincts.
