Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I pray two rak'ahs behind the Maqam after the tawaf, and I want to go to the Sa'y, and the crowd is heavy at the Black Stone, should I point to it while saying the takbir?
Answer:
No. What is reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is that he touched it and kissed it. As for if you are unable to do so, it is not obligatory. Yes.
