The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people, when they are performing Hajj or 'Umrah and come to the place of sa'y, turn toward the Black Stone during their sa'y and kiss it. Is this correct? Do they kiss it from a distance?
The Shaykh:
If he comes from the place of sa'y.
The questioner:
Some say that if he comes to the place of sa'y and during his sa'y he kisses the Black Stone.
The Shaykh:
The Black Stone is for the tawaf (circumambulation), it is not in the place of sa'y. But the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), when he performed the tawaf of 'Umrah or Hajj, then went and prayed two rak'ahs at the Maqam, would return to the Stone, touch it, and kiss it, then go to the place of sa'y, to perform the sa'y.
