Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding some people, when they intend to kiss the Black Stone, they place their foreheads on it as if in prostration?
Answer:
It is narrated from Ibn Abbas from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he prostrated on it, but there is doubt regarding its authenticity. What is known from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is kissing it and touching it with the hand; this is the most cautious course of action.
