The ruling on saying takbir when passing the Black Stone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Honorable Shaykh! I was performing the farewell tawaf and I passed the Black Stone without saying takbir,And I had a companion who said: Takbir is obligatory, so I did not hear his words;Because I asked someone before him, and he said: It is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory.
So what is the ruling, O Shaykh?!
Saying takbir when passing the Black Stone is not obligatory, but it is a recommended practice (sunnah). Its place is at the beginning of the lap, not at its end. Accordingly, if it is the last lap, you do not say takbir.
The questioner: And during the lap?The Shaykh: Even in the middle of it, it is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory. If a person intentionally leaves it out, there is no sin on him.
