It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir in a marfu’ form that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the House of Allah, touched the Corner, then performed ramal in three circuits of the tawaf and walked at his normal pace in the remaining four circuits. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) proceeded towards Maqam Ibrahim and recited this verse of the Qur’an: { وَ اتَّخِذُوْا مِنْ مَّقَامِ اِبْرٰھٖمَ مُصَلًّی }. Then he placed Maqam Ibrahim between himself and the House of Allah.

Ibrahim says that there is no concession or permission for not offering prayer at Maqam Ibrahim. If, due to crowding, you are unable to pray near it, then persist until you find a place, or else find a place adjacent to it. There is no harm if you are facing it and there are several people praying between you and it.
