Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us, Abd al-Wahhab narrated to us, Khalid narrated to us from Ikrimah from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: Sahih al-Bukhari 1612
The Shaykh : His statementSahih al-Bukhari 1632 indicates that the Yemeni Corner is not pointed to. The Yemeni Corner does not involve kissing, nor does it involve pointing when one is unable to touch it. What is done with it is only touching it if it is easy, without saying takbir. If it is not easy, a person walks past it as usual.
The Prophet (ﷺ) performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba while riding a camel, and whenever he came in front of the Corner, he pointed towards it (with something).
