'''Istilām al-hajar''' (Arabic: {ia|استلام الحجر}}, lit, Touch of the Stone) is to touch and kiss [[Hajar al-Aswad]] (the Black Stone) with the intention of being blessed. There are different [[hadith]]s in which istilam al-hajar is commanded, which is interpreted by [[jurist]]s as the act being [[mustahabb]] (recommended). According to a hadith from [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]], the philosophy behind the act is that the Black Stone will testify in one's favor on the [[Day of Judgment]]. | |||

Jurists have cited different hadiths to show that it is mustahab to touch and kiss the Black Stone. The ruling includes women as well. Thus, some jurists maintain that istilam al-hajar is mustahab for women if there are no illegitimate consequences. It is notable that the ruling of istihbab for kissing and touching the Black Stone is suspended in certain conditions, such as times when the areas around the Ka'ba are too crowded and the “istilam” leads to harassments. This is true for both men and women alike. | Jurists have cited different hadiths to show that it is mustahab to touch and kiss the Black Stone. The ruling includes women as well.
