The Ruling on Voluntary Sa'y and Kissing the Black Stone

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is voluntary sa'y permissible? And is it permissible to kiss the Black Stone at any time, even if I have not performed tawaf?

Answer:
There is no voluntary sa'y; sa'y is solely a ritual act for Hajj or 'Umrah, and there is no voluntary aspect to it. As for tawaf, there is a voluntary aspect to it: you circumambulate as many times as is easy for you, and you pray two rak'ahs after every seven circuits. As for kissing the Black Stone, it is prescribed only during tawaf; it is not prescribed to kiss the Black Stone outside of tawaf.
