The Demolition of Dhul-Khalasa[1] occurred in April and May 632 CE, in 10 AH of the Islamic calendar. Sources refer to Dhul-Khalasa, (Arabic: ذُو الْخَلَصَة ḏū l-ḵalaṣa), as both a cult image and as a temple, venerated by some Arabian tribes.[2] Muhammad sent his companion Jarir ibn ʿAbdullah al-Bajali , to destroy the image, leaving the shrine surrounding it in ruins.[3][4][5]
