Common Mistakes Committed On Pilgrimage

Dua at Holy Kaaba:
Numerous people have the idea that the first time that they ever set eyes on the Holy Kaaba, any Dua that they make will be answered immediately. This is not supported by Sahi Hadith.
Kissing The Black Stone:
The act of kissing the black stone is a beautiful Sunnah and an honor for all those who can do so. However as there is a huge crowd most of the people cannot reach the stone and therefore they start kissing from far away, when they are in line with the Black Stone. The pilgrims stop right in the middle, in people’s way and start to kiss the black stone. They fail to realize that suddenly stopping can cause disruption in the flow of the Tawaf of the other pilgrims around them.
The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) only kissed the stone when he could and when he couldn’t, he touched the Black Stone with his hand and then kissed his hand. Some people also think wiping their hand over Black Stone or Kabah & then rubbing them on their body will remove sins or diseases but this is a misconception & is not allowed. The only permissible act or the right way is to touch it or kiss it only when it can be done easily.

Shouting out the Duas:
Some pilgrims during their pilgrimage tend to shout at the very top of their voices while reading Dua while performing Tawaf.
