The "mi'jan" pit beside the Kaaba door is filled in
On 20 February 1958, a shallow pit known as the mi'jan, about 2 × 1.12 metres, on the tawaf area to the right of the Kaaba door, was filled in because pilgrims were falling into it and getting injured during tawaf. Its surface was paved with marble.
