What is the ruling on clinging to the wall of the Ka'bah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is standing and clinging to the wall of the Ka'bah from any of its sides a recommended practice?
The Shaykh:
There is no evidence for this, whether it is clinging to the Ka'bah or attaching oneself to it. The one who wants to make supplication and wants to pray should face the Ka'bah and make supplication and pray as much as he wishes, at times other than the prohibited times, without clinging to the Ka'bah. Yes.
The presenter:
He says: I was sitting in the Haram.
The Shaykh:
Clinging to the Ka'bah narrows the space for the circumambulators, or it harms the circumambulators. Yes.
