Is raising the hands and saying takbir at the Yemeni Corner part of the Sunnah?

The questioner : The questioner says: Some people, when they pass by the Yemeni Corner, raise their hands and say takbir. Is this part of the Sunnah?

The Shaykh : I am not aware of any Sunnah that a person, when passing by the Yemeni Corner, should point and say takbir. There is no Sunnah from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this. Rather, the Sunnah is to touch it if it is easy to do so. If it is not easy, then pass by it without pointing or saying takbir. Pointing and saying takbir is for the Black Stone.
