What Is the Weight of the Gold in the Door of al-Kaaba al-Musharrafa and Bab al-Tawbah?

The quantity of gold in the door of al-Kaaba al-Musharrafa and Bab al-Tawbah (Door of Repentance), which is located at the northeast corner inside al-Kaaba, is estimated to be around 280 kg, all of which is 999.9 percent pure. The total cost of manufacturing these two doors, excluding the quantity of gold used in them, is approximately SAR13,420,000.

The design and manufacture of a new door for al-Kaaba al-Musharrafa were carried out on the directive of King Khalid Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud in 1977. This decision was made after he prayed at al-Kaaba and observed traces of scratches on its door. The construction of the door took twelve months, and it remains in place in al-Kaaba al-Musharrafa to this day.

Bab al-Tawbah, which was constructed next to the outer door of al-Kaaba al-Musharrafa, leads to the staircase ascending toward the surface of al-Kaaba al-Musharrafa and the space between the lower and upper ceilings of al-Kaaba al-Musharrafa.
