Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does kissing the Ka'bah and the Station of Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and rubbing against them, count as shirk (associating partners with Allah) in actions? It is a bid'ah (religious innovation) because there is no report of kissing the Ka'bah or kissing the Station of Ibrahim; rather, what is reported is tawaf (circumambulation) of the Ka'bah and praying toward it, and praying at the Station of Ibrahim.
Answer:
And there is no report that one should kiss it or rub against it, whether its windows or otherwise. Yes.
