Is the Black Stone touched at the end of the tawaf and after the prayer behind the Maqam?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is the Black Stone touched at the end of the final lap of the tawaf, and likewise after the two rak'ahs of the tawaf prayer?

Answer:
Yes, this is how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did it. He touched it at the beginning of the tawaf and at its end. After he prayed behind the Maqam of Ibrahim, before going to perform the sa'y, he returned and touched the stone. However, this is difficult for people today. This is difficult for people today. So it is sufficient, praise be to Allah, that he touches it or points to it during the tawaf only. As for when he has prayed the two rak'ahs and wants to perform the sa'y, he goes and performs the sa'y, rather than returning amidst the crowds. Yes.
