The internal staircase of the Kaaba
The Madinan Sanctuary / The Prophet’s Mosque in Medina
The internal staircase of the Kaaba is a fixed staircase inside the Kaaba, located in the Syrian Corner, which is used to ascend to the roof of the Kaaba. This staircase was first made of wood by the Quraysh during the reconstruction of the Kaaba five years before the Prophethood.
Ḥaram Madanī is an area of the city of Medina in the Hijaz that, in Islam, holds sanctity and has special etiquettes and rulings.
This staircase has been rebuilt, repaired, and replaced several times throughout different historical periods. Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr, Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf al-Thaqafi, Al-Mutawakkil Abbasi, and the Ottoman kings were some of the individuals involved. The latest internal staircase of the Kaaba was constructed during the reign of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia. The entrance to this staircase is a locked door adorned with gold and silver designs.
This area extends from the east and west between the eastern lava field (al-Ḥarra al-Sharqiyya) and the western lava field (al-Ḥarra al-Gharbiyya), and from the north and south, from Mount Thawr to Mount ʿAyr.
Location and History
The Madinan Sanctuary has rulings and etiquettes, such as the recommended act of performing ghusl and purification when entering it, and these are similar to the rulings and etiquettes of the Meccan Sanctuary.
The internal staircase of the Kaaba is located on the right side after entering the Kaaba, in the Syrian Corner.(1) Azraqī,''Akhbār Makka'', vol. 1, p. 294. , Ibn Rustah,'' Al-Aʿlāq al-Nafīsah'', p. 33.
Some have considered the reason for Medina being made a sanctuary to be the granting of protection to Medina and its inhabitants, while others have attributed it to the presence of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
For the first time, during the reconstruction of the Kaaba by the Quraysh, a wooden staircase for ascending to the roof of the Kaaba was built five years before the Prophethood.(2)Azraqī,''Akhbār Makka'', vol. 1, p. 165. , Fāsī al-Makkī,''Shifāʾ al-gharām bi akhbār al-balad al-ḥarām'', vol. p. 147.
==Boundaries==
The internal staircase of the Kaaba has been repaired, rebuilt, and replaced several times throughout history. The list of these changes can be seen in the table below:***
The Madinan Sanctuary is an area within Medina in the Hijaz.
This sanctuary lies, from the east and west, between the eastern lava field (al-Ḥarra al-Sharqiyya) and the western lava field (al-Ḥarra al-Gharbiyya).(1) al-Kulaynī ,"al-Kāfī,",vol. 4,p. 564-565. ,,, ibn Ḥanbal ," Musnad al-Imām Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal ",vol. 3,p. 23. ,,, al-Ḥajjāj al-Nīshābūrī Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim",vol. 4,p. 113.
And according to one narration, it extends from the north and south, from Mount Thawr to Mount ‘Ayr.(2) al-Ḥajjāj al-Nīshābūrī Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim",vol. 4,p. 115. ,,, al-Bukhārī , "Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī ",vol. 8,p. 10.

In the narrations, other various expressions have also been mentioned for determining its northern and southern boundaries.(3) al-Kulaynī ,"al-Kāfī,",vol. 4,p. 564. ,,, al-Majlisī ,"Marāʾat al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl ", vol. 18, p. 279. ,,, Najafī," Jawāhir al-Kalām fī Sharḥ Sharāʾiʿ al-Islām " ,vol. 20, p. 75. ,,, ibn Bābawayh ," Maʿānī al-Akhbār ",p. 337.
During the reign of King Fahd (1982-2005 CE), along with the repairs to the Kaaba, the internal staircase was also rebuilt using glass to increase the light inside the Kaaba. These renovations were completed in the year 1417 AH.(16) Muḥyī al-Dīn Aḥmad Imām, '' Fī Rahāb al-Bayt al-ʿAtīq '', p. 175,177.
