Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible to touch or wipe the walls of the Ka'bah, or is it only permissible to wipe the Yemeni Corner?
Answer:
The parts of the Ka'bah that are touched are the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner; as for the rest, they are not touched, wiped, or kissed. This is the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He did not touch anything except the Yemeni Corner, and he did not touch and kiss anything except the Black Stone. As for the rest of the Ka'bah and its corners, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not touch them, wipe them, or cling to them. The Ka'bah is faced in prayer, and one circumambulates it as a voluntary act or an obligation; this is what is prescribed. Yes.
