Ibn Umar was informed about the statement of Aishah that a part of al-Hijr is included in the magnitude of the Kabah. Ibn Umar said: By Allah, I think that she must have heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I think that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had not given up touching both of them but for the reason that they were not on the foundation of the House (the Kabah), nor did the people circumambulate (the House) beyond al-Hijr for this reason.

Brief Explanation
1؎: Since Hatim (the portion adjacent to the Ka‘bah that is enclosed by a semi-circular wall) is also a part of the Baytullah, therefore, circumambulation (tawaf) should be performed from outside of it. If someone leaves out Hatim during tawaf, then the tawaf will not be valid.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1875. Commentary: If one performs tawaf (circumambulation) from the inside of the Hijr (Hijr Ismail) and Hatim, then the tawaf of the entire Ka'bah will not be completed. Therefore, it is necessary to perform tawaf from the outside.
