Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking whether it is prescribed or recommended to kiss the Black Stone without performing tawaf?
Answer:
We say: No. What is reported is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to touch it and kiss it during tawaf, and it is not reported that he would go to it and kiss it without tawaf. And we do not innovate anything that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do. So kissing the Stone or touching it is attached to tawaf. If there is tawaf, you kiss it, or touch it, or point to it. And without tawaf, no.
