Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: Is it permissible to kiss the Maqam Ibrahim?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to kiss anything of the House except the Black Stone. The Yemeni Corner is touched but not kissed, and the Black Stone is touched and kissed, or pointed to.
The two Sha'am corners are not kissed, not touched, and not pointed to. We follow what has come in the evidence. As for the Maqam Ibrahim, what is prescribed for us is to pray at it. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:125] When a person finishes the tawaf and finds an opportunity at the Maqam, he prays, placing the Maqam between himself and the Ka'bah, and prays two rak'ahs as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, and he does not rub himself against it. Yes.
