In a [[hadith]] from ''[[al-Kafi]]'', it has been said that the Maqam has been moved from its original place and the tawaf area (mataf) has been defined to be between the Ka'ba and the current place of Ibrahim's (a) station. Most Shia scholars in [[fiqh]] have considered the tawaf area to be as mentioned in this hadith and when it is very crowded, they have considered it permissible to perform tawaf outside this area with some conditions as well. Some others have interpreted this hadith as a recommendation for tawaf in this area. | In a [[hadith]] from ''[[al-Kafi]]'', it has been said that the Maqam has been moved from its original place and the tawaf area (mataf) has been defined to be between the Ka'ba and the current place of Ibrahim's (a) station.
