Question:
Assalamalaikum..i would like to know if it is compulsary to touch the
Hijr-e-Aswad even when there is too much rush and there is fear of
getting hurt or causing hurt ?Will it itbe wrong if one doesn't touch
it because of the mentioned issues..same question regarding touching
the Kaabatullah also.One more thing i want to ask is the same
regarding standing nearest to our Prophet's p.b.u.h Rozemubaarak to
send Durood...if there is too much rush and there is no sense in
pushing and hurting others to gain good deeds...can we read the Durood
standing whereever we get place ?Jazaak Allah khair.
Answer:
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
It is recommended (not obligatory) to try to touch the Black Stone,
but only ifthis will not lead to hurting, harming, or even annoying
others. [Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar]
Given this, it is wrong to try to touch the Black Stone if it entails
pushing and shoving others.
And Allah alone gives success.
