The ruling on raising the hand and saying takbir when passing the Black Stone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. In tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), at the end of each lap, does a person raise his hand with the takbir, and does he mention the basmalah, or does he limit himself to the takbir?
Answer:
When he passes the Black Stone. When he passes the stone while performing tawaf, if he is able to touch it and kiss it, he does so. If he is not able to kiss it, touching it with his hand is sufficient. If he is not able to do either, neither touching nor kissing, then he points to it with his hand when he passes it; he raises his hand pointing to the stone and says takbir, saying Allahu Akbar. As for Bismillah, there is no evidence (dalil) regarding this; he suffices by saying Allahu Akbar. Yes.
