Kissing the Black Stone or Avoiding the Crowding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, among the questions that came to the program, the questioner says: I saw some men with women during the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), and they were pushing some women and their daughters to kiss the Black Stone out of love for this stone. Which is better: kissing the stone or avoiding the crowding?
Answer:
Avoiding the crowding is better, and it is sufficient to point to it from a distance when it is blocked; one points to it and does not push anyone, especially a woman, for if she pushes against the men, it is fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and there is also danger for her because she is weak. The religion is easy, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, Honorable Shaykh.
