Question:
He says: We know that the beginning of the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) is at the Black Stone. So what is the manner of pointing at the Black Stone? Do I say "Bismillah" and "Allahu Akbar," or just "Allahu Akbar"? And likewise at the end of the tawaf?
Answer:
You raise your hand and point to it. You raise your right hand and point to it, and you say "Allahu Akbar." You say "Allahu Akbar." You do not say "Bismillah." You say "Allahu Akbar," and that is sufficient. Then you begin the supplication in the lap. Yes.
