'''Shadharwan''' is a short, sloped protrusion located at the bottom of the Ka'ba's walls, except for the side of [[Hijr Isma'il|Hijr Ismail]] and below the door of the Ka'ba. It is believed to be a part of the Ka'ba constructed by [[Abraham (a)|Abraham]], which was reduced by the Quraysh during the renovation of the [[Ka'ba]]. Shi'a jurists and some Sunni jurists consider performing [[Tawaf]] over it as invalid; arguing that the Tawaf should be performed around the Ka'ba, not inside it.
