No, you cannot kiss the Hajr al-Aswad or the Black Stone during Umrah.
The Black Stone is a sacred object located in the Kaaba, the holiest shrine in Islam. It is considered a symbol of God's blessings and a reminder of the covenant between God and humanity. Due to the large number of pilgrims who visit the Kaaba, it is not allowed to touch or kiss the Black Stone to prevent overcrowding and potential damage.
During Umrah, you can perform the Tawaf, which is a circumambulation of the Kaaba. As part of the Tawaf, you can point towards the Black Stone and recite a specific prayer. However, it is not permitted to touch or kiss it.
It is important to follow the guidelines and regulations set by the authorities in charge of the Masjid al-Haram to ensure a safe and peaceful pilgrimage for all.
