Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah bless you. Some women jostle with the men to kiss the Black Stone. What is the ruling on that? And is it obligatory to kiss the Black Stone in 'Umrah?
Answer:
It is not obligatory to kiss the Black Stone in 'Umrah. If it is easy for him to kiss it, then it is recommended and a sunnah. If it is not easy, he points to it. As for the woman specifically, she does not jostle with the men because she is an 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) and a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Pointing is sufficient for her. It is sufficient for her to point to the Black Stone when she passes it during her tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah). Yes.
