Purchasing pieces of the cover of the Ka’bah

Question:

Is it permissible to purchase pieces of the cover of the Ka‛bah? Is it
permissible to accept it if one receives it from a person who is
associated with the upkeep of the Ka‛bah?

Answer;

If the cover is given by the king or from the government, then they
have the right to give it to whomever they want. Furthermore, it could
be sold and the money could be used for the expenses of al-Masjid al-
Haram and the Ka‛bah. If it comes into the possession of a poor person,
he may sell it if he wants. If it falls under the ownership of the auqaf
(public trusts and funds), it can be given in accordance with the
conditions laid down by the bequester.
