The ruling on coming to the line opposite the Black Stone at the beginning of sa'y when touching it is not possible—Comments on al-Kafi

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : May Allah bless you. It is known that it is difficult for a person to touch the Black Stone after praying two rak'ahs. So, is it prescribed for a person to come to the brown line?

Answer : Yes. He should touch it. This is a valid question that has been raised, meaning: Do we say that it is prescribed, after praying two rak'ahs, to come to the line opposite the Black Stone? We say there is no benefit in coming there, because the Black Stone is the intended target, not something else. And since it is not possible to touch it and there is no indication there, there is no benefit in coming.
