Takbir at the Black Stone during Tawaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the one who performs tawaf around the Ka'bah, does he say Allahu Akbar when he passes the Black Stone while in the state of 'Umrah, or does he say Bismillah, Allahu Akbar?

Answer:
He says Allahu Akbar. This is the takbir at the Black Stone, the takbir at the beginning of the tawaf, and the takbir at the beginning of every lap of the tawaf. He says takbir when he is opposite the Stone and touches it, if he is able to touch it with his hand and kiss it if possible, or he points to it from a distance and says takbir. Yes.
