The ruling on supplication at the Black Stone and the Multazam

Question:
He asks: Is the Black Stone among the places where supplication is answered? What is the Multazam and how is it performed? And is it permissible to cling to the Ka'bah when making supplication?

Answer:
The Black Stone is part of the Ka'bah; most of it is from the Ka'bah, but it was lowered and broken, and it was called al-Hatim (the broken one). Otherwise, it is part of the Ka'bah, so praying in it is like praying inside the Ka'bah, and it has great virtue. As for the Multazam, it is the space between the door and the Black Stone, that is, between the corner (which is the Black Stone) and the door. A person stands in this place if it is convenient and there is no crowding, and he stands there and makes supplication. As for clinging to the Ka'bah or holding onto its ropes, there is no evidence for this. But if it happens, he stands in this place between the corner and the door and makes supplication; this is a place likely to have its supplication answered. Yes.
