Is it permissible to kiss the Yemeni Corner, and what is said between it and the Black Stone?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This questioner asks, saying: Honorable Shaykh, regarding the tawaf and touching the Black Stone, you did not mention the Yemeni Corner. Some people kiss it, and some touch it. What is the correct practice? And the supplication between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone. The second point is that you mentioned
The Shaykh : Be patient, be patient. The Black Stone, when it is easy to reach, is touched and kissed. If one cannot kiss it, he touches it and kisses his hand. If he cannot reach it with his hand, he points to it. How many are these? Three: touching and kissing the stone itself, touching with the hand and kissing the hand, and pointing if one cannot do so without harm to himself or others. As for the Yemeni Corner, it is only touched, and no takbir is said at it. If one cannot touch it, he passes by and does not point to it, because that was not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35:69 [Al-Baqarah 2:201] No, do not add to it. As for "and admit us to Paradise with the righteous," this addition was made to match the rhyme, but it was not reported. It is sufficient to say [Al-Baqarah 2:201] Now, if the area is crowded and you get through before reaching the Black Stone, what do you do? Do you go around again two or three times or more?

And as for what is said
وأما ما يقولbetween the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone, it is
بين الركن اليماني والحجر الأسود فهوOur Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire."
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِsays, "Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire."
يَقُولُ رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
