Kissing the Black Stone

Q: Is kissing the Ka`bah during the performance of the rites of Hajj or `Umrah Halal (lawful) or Haram (prohibited)? Please notify.


(Part No. 11; Page No. 229)  A: It is permissible to kiss the Black Stone. This is because it has been authentically narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) kissed the Black Stone and did not kiss any other part of the Ka`bah. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
