Can anyone shed some light over this video? (I came across it on youtube)
Are they going to demolish the Ottoman Domes in Masjid al-Haram to make way for this structure?
Perhaps with this device, fewer people will lose their flip-flops over the barrier. MashaAllah!
From www.sacred-destinations.com: In 1571, Ottoman Sultan Selim II (1566-1574) commissioned the court architectSinan to renovate the Holy Mosque. It is from this renovation that the present building mostly dates. Sinan replaced the flat roof of the prayer hall with domes, supported by the addition of new columns from the nearby Shams Mountains. The interior of the domes were decorated with gilded calligraphy.
