Touching the Kabah or Hajr-e-Aswad while in ihraam
Question
As the Kabah Shareef has a scent/itr, is it permissible to touch the Kabah Shareef or Hajr-e-Aswad while in ihraam?
Answer
One should not touch those areas of the Kabah Shareef or the Hajr-e-Aswad where itr is applied in the state of ihraam.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
