Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on embracing one's wife during tawaf around the Ka'bah?
Answer:
This is not permissible. Tawaf around the House is like prayer, like prayer, except that speaking is permitted in it. It is not permissible for him to embrace his wife, and how can he embrace his wife in front of people? There are dangers in it and there is evil in it. I mean, if there were no one in the tawaf area but him and his wife, it would not be permissible for him to embrace her, so how much less when there are men in the tawaf area? This is a lack of modesty and a lack of fear of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
