Regarding pointing to the Black Stone, is it obligatory to stand?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you, regarding pointing to the Black Stone, is it obligatory to stand?

The Shaykh : It is not obligatory, but a hadith was reported from 'Umar, though it is weak, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him:
If you find a space, touch it; otherwise, do not push, but face it and say Allahu Akbar. إن وجدت فرجة فاستلمه وإلا فلا تزاحم فاستقبله وكبِّر
