Some people insist on praying the two rak’ahs of tawaaf behind Maqaam Ibraaheem even on days when it is crowded
Question

                Sometimes there is severe crowding in the mataaf (place of tawaaf around the Ka’bah) and some ignorant people pray there, close to the Maqaam, and get in the way of other people's tawaaf, and some of them make a circle around the one who is praying (to shield him). Is there any blame on us if we push them, especially when there is severe crowding?
Praise be to Allah.
    Those who pray behind Maqaam Ibraaheem and insist on praying 
    there, even though the people who are doing tawaaf need their space, are 
    wronging themselves and wronging others, and they are sinners, trangressors 
    and wrongdoers. They have no right to this space and you have the right to 
    push them and to walk in front of them, and to step over them when they are 
    prostrating, because they have no right to this space at all, and the fact 
    that they are insisting on being in this space undoubtedly stems from their 
    ignorance, because the two rak’ahs of Tawaaf may be done anywhere in the 
    Mosque. A person can move away from the place where people are doing tawaaf 
    and pray two rak’ahs. Even Ameer al-Mu’mineen ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may 
    Allaah be pleased with him) prayed the two rak’ahs of tawaaf in Dhu Tuwa, 
    which is far away from al-Masjid al-Haraam, and is not even in al-Masjid al-Haraam. 

    People have to fear Allaah with regard to themselves and with 
    regard to their brothers, and not pray behind Maqaam Ibraaheem when the 
    people need this space for tawaaf. If a person does that, he has no 
    protection and we may push him or interrupt his prayer, and we may step over 
    him when he is prostrating, because he is the one who is transgressing and 
    doing wrong –Allaah forbid. End quote.
