The Ruling on Pressing the Chest Against the Ka'bah Between the Door and the Black Stone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is it prescribed to press the chest against the area between the door of the Ka'bah and the Black Stone and to make supplication? It has been mentioned that the Companions did this and their supplications were answered?
Answer:
No, they did not press their chests against the Ka'bah, nor did they cling to it. Rather, they stand in the Multazam, between the corner and the door, between the Black Stone and the door of the Ka'bah, in this Multazam, and they supplicate to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). This is what the Salaf did. Yes.
