Summary
Scholars differ on who first built the Kaaba. Some name the angels, some Prophet Adam, and others Prophet Shith. The reports about construction by the angels, Adam and Shith lack authentic evidence, and Ibn Kathir regarded them as derived from Israiliyyat. The building by Prophet Ibrahim together with Prophet Ismail is mentioned in the Quran and supported by many authentic narrations, and was done by Allah's command.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
