The ruling on raising the hands at the Black Stone and al-Safa

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, I seek Allah's forgiveness. What is the ruling on raising the hands at the Black Stone, and at al-Safa and al-Marwah?

Answer:
At the Black Stone, one does not raise both hands. One raises the right hand and points with it. One points with it if he is far from the stone, points with it, and says takbir. As for when he is close to the stone, he touches the stone with his right hand, wipes it with it, and kisses it if he is close. He does not raise both hands. As for at al-Safa, he raises both hands. He raises his hands and makes du'a', like raising the hands in du'a' in other cases. Yes. Like du'a', yes. He says, "Bismillah, Allahu Akbar," in every lap. Every time he passes the stone, he points to it and says, "Bismillah, Allahu Akbar." Yes.
