Question:

It is mentioned in the books of the biographies of the Prophet that Isma’il (Ishmael) (peace be upon him) was buried in Al-Hatim in Makkah Al-Mukarramah. If the grave is in Al-Hatim, how is it permissible to offer Salah (Prayer) there?

Answer:

The claim that Ishmael (peace be upon him) was buried in Al-Hatim is not true, and an unreliable statement.
