Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Some people believe that rubbing the walls of the Ka'bah contains blessing, and that it is a form of worship. Is this action valid?
Answer:
One does not rub anything except the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner only. As for the two Sham corners, one does not rub them because they are not on the foundations of Ibrahim; they are inside the Ka'bah. Yes.
