Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A man performed tawaf around the House, but he did not point to the Black Stone, nor did he say takbir. What is the ruling on his tawaf?
Answer:
His tawaf is valid; his tawaf is valid. Pointing to the Black Stone, kissing it, or touching it is a sunnah (recommended practice); it is one of the sunnahs of tawaf, not an obligation. So if he performed tawaf without touching the Stone or pointing to it, he has left a sunnah, and his tawaf is valid. Yes.
