Kissing Al-Hajar Al-Aswad in case one is not performing Hajj or `Umrah

Q: What is the ruling on kissing Al-Hajar Al-Aswad (the Black Stone in a corner of the Ka`bah) at times other than Hajj or `Umrah (lesser Pilgrimage)? We heard that this is not allowable.


A 2: It is not permissible to kiss Al-Hajar Al-Aswad (the Black Stone in a corner of the Ka`bah) at any time other than Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah) because the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not do this except during Tawaf. (Part No. 10; Page No. 239) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
