Emphasis on Respecting the Ka’ba
Nass is available to indicate that it is a Greater sin to show disrespect to the Ka’ba and the Messenger of Allah (S) has clearly stated,
“It is a greater sin to consider the disrespect of the Holy House permissible.”
Allah (S.w.T.) says in Surah al-Mā’ida,
“O you who believe! Do not violate the signs appointed by Allah.”
(Surah al-Mā’ida 5:2)
According to Tafsīrul Mizan the word ‘Ihlāl’’ (violate) actually means to consider the disrespect of a sacred thing permissible (Mubah). It refers to the failure to maintain the sanctity of the signs of Allah (S.w.T.). There is no doubt that the Holy Ka’ba is a great sign of Allah (S.w.T.). It is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an that,
“And whoever respects the sacred ordinances of Allah, it is better for him with his Lord.”
(Surah Hajj 22: 30)
Some commentators of Qur’an say that the words “Sacred Ordinances” in the above verse refer to the Holy Ka’ba. The term also implies the sacred Mosque, the city of Makkah which is a sacred city; the sacred months and other sanctified things.
