Timing of the gesture toward the Black Stone and the location of the line

The questioner:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for me to delay the gesture toward the Black Stone during the tawaf until after the mark and the line on the floor of the tawaf area?

The Shaykh:
No. The gesture and saying Allahu Akbar are done when one is opposite the Stone. If one passes it, the place for the dhikr and the gesture has been missed. Yes.

The questioner:
Do you mean, Shaykh, the mark placed on the ground now?

The Shaykh:
The intention is to be opposite the Stone. This line is an innovation; they exerted effort to place it to alert people to being opposite the Stone. Otherwise, the intention is to be opposite the Stone, even if there were no line. Yes.

The questioner:
If one moves forward a little or lags behind a little, there is no harm.

The Shaykh:
No, one must be opposite the Stone; one should not move forward or lag behind. Yes.
