Based strictly on the provided reference, there is no mention of anyone being allowed to go inside the Kaaba without permission.
Entry Requirements According to the Reference
The provided information details conditions and restrictions related to accessing the Kaaba, primarily focusing on who is permitted within the holy city of Mecca and under what circumstances entry to the Kaaba's interior is possible.
-
Access to Mecca: The reference states that the government of Saudi Arabia restricts entry into the holy city of Mecca to Muslims only. Non-Muslims are forbidden from entering the city at all. Therefore, only Muslims are in a position to potentially enter the Kaaba.
-
Access to the Kaaba Interior: The Kaaba itself is kept closed during the Hajj pilgrimage due to the extremely large number of visitors. During other times of the year, individuals who visit the Kaaba (who, as established, must be Muslim to be in Mecca) are sometimes allowed to go inside. The phrase "sometimes allowed" implies that entry requires permission or is under specific conditions, rather than being possible without permission.
