The ruling on supplication at the Multazam between the Black Stone and the door of the Ka'bah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the name of the place between the Black Stone and the door of the Ka'bah? And is there a supplication recited there that is accepted?

Answer:
It is called the Multazam. It is recommended to stand there and make supplication, but regarding what is attached to the Ka'bah or the curtains of the Ka'bah, one stands and makes supplication between the Black Stone and the door of the Ka'bah. One stands in this place if there is no crowding and no harm. As for the time of crowding and the time of intensity, he makes supplication in any place. Allah is near, He answers, and He accepts supplication in any place. Do not crowd and block the tawaf for people. You will be sinful for this; this is a sin, because this causes harm to those performing tawaf.
And those performing tawaf are more deserving than others. Allah the Exalted said:
Purify My House for those who perform Tawaf and those who are staying [there] for worship and those who bow and prostrate [in prayer]."طَهِّرَا بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَالْعَاكِفِينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:125]
He began with those performing tawaf because tawaf around the House is specific to the House, so those performing tawaf are more deserving. So one should not come and stand and say, "Make supplication," or a group should come and form a queue or a row and cut off the tawaf. This is forbidden and not permissible; they will be sinful for this. But if it is easy for you without harm to people, you stand in this place and make supplication. Yes.
