Question:
The 'Umrah, and… We did not say the one performing 'Umrah goes to the state of the Stone, and what?
Answer:
Takbir is a recommended practice (sunnah); the tawaf is valid even if one does not say it. The important thing is that one circumambulates the House seven times, from the Stone to the Stone. As for takbir, raising the hands, touching the Stone, or kissing the Stone, these are all recommended practices (sunnah). If they are done, they complete the act; if they are not done, the tawaf is still valid. Yes.
