The Apparent Contradiction Between the Hadiths on the Demolition of the Ka‘ba and a Disbeliever Entering the Two Sanctuaries
Question
Respected Mufti, there is one thing I do not understand: there is a hadith of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ that disbelief and polytheism will never enter Makka the Honoured and Madina the Illumined until the Day of Resurrection, and that not even the Dajjal will be able to enter them, because angels will be stationed at their gates. Yet another hadith, narrated from Hazrat ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar ﵄, states that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Do not fight the Abyssinians (the people of Habash)
Answer
Please give the reference for the first hadith as well, the one stating that a disbeliever and a polytheist cannot enter the two noble sanctuaries (al-Haramayn). It would be even better if you could quote its exact wording.
