Neglecting to touch the Yemeni Corner

Q 1: If I omit wiping over the Yemeni Corner (the Southern Corner of the Ka`bah facing Yemen) and remember that after reaching Al-Hajar Al-Aswad (the Black Stone in a corner of the Ka`bah), should I return to wipe over it to get the virtue of following the example of the Prophet (peace be upon him)? Does doing so spoil the Tawaf?


A: If you do not wipe over the Yemeni Corner and remember that after going past Al-Hajar Al-Aswad you should not return to wipe over it because this act is Sunnah. (Part No. 10; Page No. 238) However, returning does not invalidate the Tawaf.
