Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Touching the Black Stone with a stick or pointing to it: is this permissible only when one is unable to touch it directly, or is it permissible in all cases?
Answer:
It appears that this may be due to the cause of the crowd, but the best is to touch it directly. However, if one fears that he will cause a crush or if he is unable to do so.
