Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh: Some Muslims, when they reach the Black Stone to point at it, raise their hands as they do for the takbir in prayer, and they say the takbir and the name of Allah. Others may simply point with their hand. What is the correct practice among these various gestures?
Answer:
The correct practice is to face it, point to it with your hand, and say "Allahu Akbar." If you say "Bismillah" and "Allahu Akbar," there is no harm. You say "Allahu Akbar," point to it with your hand, face it, and then continue your tawaf. Yes.
