How Many Times Do You Do Istilam Of Hajar Aswad In Tawaf
The tawaf of Kaba has seven rounds and each of these rounds begins with the hajar-e-aswad and ends with it, and the istilam of the hajar-e-aswad is done at the beginning of each round . So the number of times an istilam is required is seven (7 times) . This istilam can be done by kissing the hajar-e-aswad or touching it with the hands and then kissing the hands. If the place is crowded, a pilgrim can just raise his hands in its direction or even point a stick or something similar towards it.
