Question:
He asks: Is it permissible to touch the cloth of the Ka'bah?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. This is the practice of the common people. What is prescribed in the Sacred Ka'bah is to circumambulate it, whether as an obligation or a voluntary act, and to pray facing it and to face it in prayer. As for touching it, or touching or clinging to its curtains or its door, there is no basis for this. What has been reported is that one should touch the Yemeni Corner with the hand when passing by it during the tawaf, and the Black Stone should be touched with the hand and kissed if possible, or pointed to from a distance when there is a crowd.
As for the curtains of the Ka'bah and the door of the Ka'bah, there is no basis for this. Even the corners of the Ka'bah, the Syrian and the Iraqi, are not to be touched or wiped. Yes.
