Question:
He said: If it is not possible to touch the Black Stone, what is the ruling regarding the punishment?

Nothing is required of him. Wiping the Black Stone is not obligatory. Whoever is able to kiss it and wipe it, that is a recommended practice (sunnah). And whoever is not able to do so, he points to it when he is opposite it. And that is sufficient. Yes.
