The Ruling on Rubbing the Ka'bah and Kissing the Hands of People of Virtue

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on rubbing the walls of the Ka'bah during tawaf, and what is the ruling on kissing the hands of the family of the Prophet?

Answer:
There is no basis for any of this. There is no basis for rubbing the Ka'bah, nor for the area between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone. As for the rest of the Ka'bah and its corners, one does not rub them, because this was not reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Kissing the hands of people of virtue and people of knowledge is permissible. Kissing the hands of people of virtue, scholars, parents, or the ruler is permissible.
