2943. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin Sarjis said: "I saw the bald forehead of 'Umar bin Khattâb when he kissed the Black Stone and said: 'I am kissing you, although I know that you are only a stone and you can neither cause harm nor bring benefit. Had I not seen the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ kissing you, I would not have kissed you.'" (Sahih)
2943 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ الْأُصَيْلِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يُقَبِّلُ الْحَجَرَ وَيَقُولُ: «إِنِّي لَأُقَبِّلُكَ، وَإِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ لَا تَضُرُّ وَلَا تَنْفَعُ، وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُقَبِّلُكَ، مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ»

Kissing the 'Black Stone' during Tawâf is allowed but pushing people or thrusting them for this purpose is not allowed. If the Black Stone can be kissed easily then it is acceptable; otherwise, it should be touched with a stick or hand, and then they should be kissed. If touching the Black Stone is difficult even with a stick or hand, then it is sufficient to make a gesture towards it and then move forward. In this case the hand should not be kissed. Other than the Black Stone, no part of the Ka'bah should be kissed. So, kissing the walls of Ka'bah, its door, its threshold, or the net of Maqâm Ibrâhim (standing place of Ibrâhim) should be avoided.
