Some people place their faces on the Ka'bah, weep, and say: This is the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), for he said: “Here the tears are shed”!!

Question:
A questioner says: There are some who place their faces on the Ka'bah between the Black Stone and the door and weep, saying that this is the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), for he said: “Here the tears are shed.” Is this statement correct?

Answer:
He said this about the Black Stone. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said it about the Black Stone, not about the Ka'bah. The one who says this is mistaken; the person who says this is wrong. One does not cling to the Ka'bah or rub against it. Rather, one stands between the Corner and the Station and makes supplication when traveling. This is what has been reported. As for clinging to its curtains, rubbing against its stones, or placing one's body on it, this is the action of the ignorant and has no basis. Yes.
