TOUCHING THE BLACK STONE
Then, touch the Black Stone and kiss it during each circuit (shawt). If you are unable to do so, begin and end your Tawaf near it. If you cannot do that, touch it with your right hand and kiss your hand. If even that is not possible, gesture towards it with your hand and kiss your hand, saying:
"I have fulfilled my trust and upheld my covenant so that you may testify for me in fulfilling it. I believe in Allah (swt) and disbelieve in al-jibt and al-taghut, and in Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, the worship of Satan, the worship of idols, and the worship of every rival claimed as a deity besides Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic."
[استلام الحجر الأسود]
ثم استلم الحجر الأسود وقبله في كل شوط، فإن لم تقدر عليه فافتح به واختم به، فإن لم تقدر عليه فامسحه بيدك اليمنى وقبلها، فإن لم تقدر عليه عليه فأشر إليه بيدك وقبلها وقل: " أمانتي أديتها وميثاقي تعاهدته لتشهد لي بالموافاة، آمنت بالله وكفرت بالجبت والطاغوت واللات والعزى وعبادة الشيطان وعبادة الأوثان وعبادة كل ند يدعى من دون الله عز وجل ".
