Touching the Ka'ba
This is an action which some people do, seeking thereby to draw closer to Allaah and to worship Him. Every action which is done with the intention of drawing closer to Allaah and worshipping Him, but which has no basis in sharee’ah, is an innovation, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) warned against that when he said: “Beware of newly-innovated matters, for every innovation is a going astray.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2676; Abu Dawood, 4607.
It is not narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) touched anything apart from the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone.
On this basis, if a person touches any corner or side of the Ka’bah apart from the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone, then he is considered to be an innovator (follower of bid’ah). When ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Abbaas saw Mu’aawiyah ibn Abi Sufyaan (may Allaah be pleased with him) touching the two northern corners of the Ka’bah, he told him not to do that. Mu’aawiyah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said to him: “No part of the House should be ignored.’ Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “ ‘Indeed in the Messenger of Allaah (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow” [al-Ahzaab 33:21 - interpretation of the meaning]. And I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) touching the two Yemeni corners,” meaning the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone. So Mu’aawiyah accepted what Ibn ‘Abbaas said.
A more serious form of bid’ah is what some people do, namely touching Maqaam Ibraaheem. It was not narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) touched any part of the Maqaam.
The same applies to other actions that some people do, namely touching Zamzam or touching the pillars of the porticos - the ancient pillars built by the Ottomans. None of these actions were narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), so they are all bid’ah (innovations), and every innovation is a going astray.
What is the Multazam?
Praise be to Allaah.
The multazam (place of clinging) is the part of the Ka’bah that is between the Black Stone and the door of the Ka’bah. What is meant by iltizaam (clinging) is when the supplicant (person making du’aa’) places his chest, face, forearms and palms against it and calls upon Allaah saying whatever du’aa’ he wishes.
There is no specific du’aa’ that the Muslim should say in that place. He can cling to the Multazam when he enters the Ka’bah (if it is easy for him to enter) or he may do that before performing the Farewell tawaaf (tawaaf al-wadaa’), or he may do it at any time he wants. He should not cause difficulty for other people by offering a lengthy du’aa’. Similarly it is not permissible to crowd other people or annoy them in order to cling there. If he sees a space then he should say du’aa’. Otherwise it is sufficient for him to say du’aa’ whilst circumambulating and when prostrating in prayer.
It was narrated that ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Safwaan said: When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) conquered Makkah, I said: I will put on my garments, as my house was on the road, and I will wait and see what the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) does. So I went and I saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had come out of the Ka’bah, he and his companions, and they were touching the House from the Door to the Black Stone. They had placed their cheeks against the House and the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was in the midst of them. Narrated by Abu Dawood, 1898; Ahmad, 15124.
And he narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Multazam is between the Corner and the door.”
...If he stands by the door and prays there without clinging to the House, that is also good.
Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 26/142, 143.
And Allaah knows best.
