Question
What is the ruling on receiving the Iraqi Corner and the Levantine Corner of the Sacred Kaaba?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is disliked to touch the Iraqi and Syrian corners of the Sacred Kaaba, as it is an innovation. The prescribed touching is only for the Black Stone and the Yemeni corner. As for the other two corners, there is no touching or signaling towards them; rather, they are disliked innovations. And God knows best.
