Facing the Black Stone in every lap

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory to face the Black Stone in every lap, or is it sufficient to be in line with it?

Answer:
Yes, you face it at every start. This is what is difficult for him. When he reaches the Stone, he turns toward it and faces it, saying Allahu Akbar, mentioning Allah’s name, and saying Allahu Akbar, then he continues his tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah). Yes.
