Question:
Kissing the Black Stone, touching it, or placing one’s forehead on it.
Answer:
This is a sunnah (recommended practice) that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did; he touched it with his noble hand and kissed it. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said, “Indeed, I know that you are a stone; I know that you are a stone that neither benefits nor harms.”Sahih Muslim 1270a This stone is among the symbols of Allah; it is touched and kissed because it is among the symbols of Allah. Kissing it and touching it is not worship of it, but rather worship of Allah, for Allah has commanded you to do this. Yes.
