Is the takbir when passing the Black Stone obligatory, and what is required of the one who missed it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : What is the ruling regarding the farewell tawaf? I was performing the farewell tawaf and I passed the Black Stone without saying the takbir. There was a man with me who stood up... I did not say the takbir. Is the takbir obligatory, or should I follow his words? Because I asked someone before and he said: It is a sunnah and not obligatory. What is its ruling, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : The takbir when passing the Black Stone is not obligatory; rather, it is a 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 the takbir.
The questioner : During it?
The Shaykh : Even during it, it is a sunnah and not obligatory. If a person leaves it out intentionally, there is no sin on him. Yes.
