The Ruling on Rubbing Against the Station of Ibrahim and the Black Stone

Question:
Among the questions that have come in, O Shaykh Salih, this questioner says: Is it permissible to rub against the noble sites, such as the Station of Ibrahim and the stone?

Answer:
It is not permissible to touch the Black Stone with the body, yes. One wipes it, touches it, and kisses it if a person is able to do so; he wipes it with his right hand and kisses it. As for when he is not able to do so, he points to it during his tawaf; he points to it whenever it is opposite him in every circuit. As for the Station of Ibrahim, he does not wipe it or kiss it; rather, he prays beside it, as Allah the Exalted said: This is when he has finished the tawaf, for he comes and prays the two rak'ahs of the tawaf at the Station of Ibrahim if it is easy for him to do so, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. If it is not easy for him to do so, he prays the two rak'ahs of the tawaf in any place of the Haram. Yes.
