The ruling on kissing the Black Stone and standing at the Multazam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. When does the one performing 'Umrah go to the Multazam, and how many times does he kiss the Black Stone?

Answer:
The Black Stone is kissed during the circuits of tawaf. If he is opposite it while he is circumambulating and is able to reach it, it is recommended (mustahabb) for him to kiss it. If he does not kiss it, there is no blame on him, because kissing it is a recommended practice (sunnah). If he is unable to kiss it, he touches it with his hand if possible, because he wipes it with his hand. If he is unable to touch it with his hand, he points to it, which is the case with the corner. The space between the Black Stone, meaning, and the door of the Ka'bah, this is the Multazam. If a person is able to stand in it and supplicate to Allah with humility, that is a good thing. If he is unable to do so, it is not obligatory. Yes.
