Q
What is the significance of following the actions of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) even if the original reason for the action no longer exists?
A
“`Umar bin Al-Khattab addressed the Corner (Black Stone) saying, ‘By Allah! I know that you are a
stone and can neither benefit nor harm. Had I not seen the Prophet (ﷺ) touching (and kissing) you, I would
never have touched (and kissed) you.’ Then he kissed it and said, ‘There is no reason for us to do
Ramal (in Tawaf) except that we wanted to show off before the pagans, and now Allah has destroyed
them.’ `Umar added, ‘(Nevertheless), the Prophet (ﷺ) did that and we do not want to leave it (i.e. Ramal).’
