Question:
This person is asking about touching the Black Stone during tawaf.
Answer:
The Black Stone. Tawaf begins from the Black Stone. If one is able to touch it by wiping it with his right hand and kissing it, this is recommended and is an act of worship of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). If he is unable to do so due to the heavy crowd, he points to it with his hand and says takbir, and this suffices for touching it. From the first lap, whenever he passes by the Black Stone in each lap, if he is able to touch it and kiss it, he does so; if he is not able, he points to it when he passes by it and says takbir, from the first lap to the last lap. Yes.
