Prostrating on the Black Stone and Adhering to the Maqam Ibrahim
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the news about prostrating on the Black Stone?
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) through Ibn Abbas, but the preserved practice is the kissing, this kissing, as narrated by Ibn Abbas. Regarding the prostration, some of them did not look at it; some of them attributed the act to Ibn Abbas, and some of them raised it, with a consideration regarding the validity of the marfu' report. The Sunnah is only the kissing and touching; one kisses the stone and touches it with his hand and says takbir. This is the preserved Sunnah in the two Sahihs. There is no harm in adhering to the Maqam Ibrahim; some of the Companions did this, and it is narrated that our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did it, but there is a defect in its chain regarding standing at the Maqam Ibrahim and making du'a between the corner and the door. This is the act of some of the Companions. Yes.
Another questioner:
His chest, and he presses his chest against it.
The Shaykh:
And his hands and his cheek, yes, between the door and the room. If one does it, there is no harm, and if one leaves it, there is no harm. Yes.
