"Kiswah"
"Kiswah"
The Kiswah in the reign of Muhammad (pbuh) Muhammad (pbuh) and the Muslims in Makkah did not participate in the draping of the Kaaba until the conquest of the city at 630 CE (7 AH), as the ruling tribe, Quraish, did not allow them to do so. When Makkah was taken by the Muslims, they decided to leave the Kiswah as it was until a woman lighting incense in the Kaaba accidentally burned the Kiswah. Muhammad(pbuh) then draped it with a white Yemeni cloth.
