Question:
It is not hidden from Your Eminence that perfume is currently placed on the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner. What is the ruling on touching them for the one in ihram? And is that considered the perfume from which the one in ihram is prohibited?
Answer:
If the perfume is wet, he does not touch it. If it is dry, there is no harm. As for if it is wet, he does not accept it or touch it; he points to it and says takbir. As for if it is dry, there is no harm; he accepts it and touches it. Currently, regarding the Black Stone, if the Yemeni Corner is not accessible, he does not accept it but touches it with his hand if it is easy. If it is not easy, he passes by and does not point to it, because there is no indication to point to it. As for the Black Stone, he accepts it and touches it. If he is unable to do so, he points to it and says takbir.
