It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has declared Makkah Mukarramah as a sanctuary; before me and after me, no one has been permitted to fight within its boundaries. I was granted permission to fight there for only a part of a day. Its grass should not be cut, its trees should not be cut, its game should not be frightened, and except for the one who announces it, no one else should pick up anything found there. Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Allow the use of the idhkhir grass, because goldsmiths use it and it is also used in graves. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Permission is granted for idhkhir.
