	Mistakes that occur during Tawaf & other Fatawa
		Some believe that tawaf is invalid unless the Black Stone is kissed, and that it is a condition in the acceptance and completeness of one’s Hajj and Umrah.

		Touching the Black Stone or wiping it or kissing it is done to glorify Allah; hence, when the Prophet, may Allah exalt his mention, touched the Black Stone, he said: “Allahu akbar,” as an indication that the purpose of this action is to glorify Allah, not to seek barakah by touching this Stone.
