The location of the Multazam on the Ka'bah and the ruling on making du'a' there

The Shaykh : Yes, Adam.

The questioner : Some scholars recommend that the one who performs tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) make du'a' at the Multazam, which is the Multazam.

The Shaykh : This Multazam, may Allah bless you, is not the place of the Multazam between the corner and the Black Stone. No, I mean between the door and the Black Stone, this is the Multazam. Make du'a' as you wish, but first, is this a sunnah (recommended practice) or not? Because there is disagreement on this. Yes, indeed, some scholars say it is a sunnah, and some say it is not a sunnah, because it is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); rather, the Companions did it. Also, we do not say that we are in our current times, because there is severe crowding there. You find some people before they finish the obligatory prayer, and they are still missing a rak'ah (unit of prayer). Yes.
