Multazam(المُلْتَزَم) The Multazam is the section of the Kabah wall between the Hajar Aswad corner and the Kabah door. Pilgrims cling to this wall while making earnest doa-doa, and it is regarded as a place where shalat are accepted.
المُلْتَزَم
The Multazam is approximately two meters of the eastern wall of the Kabah, stretching from the Hajar al-Aswad to the door of the Kabah. The practice at the Multazam involves the jamaah haji pressing their chest, cheeks, and forearms against the wall while making sincere doa (doa) to Allah. This practice is established from the Sunnah of Nabi Muhammad (shallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and his companions, including Abdullah ibn Abbas, who described it as a place where doa is not rejected. The companions would press themselves against this wall, spreading their arms, making their most heartfelt requests. Due to crowds, accessing the Multazam can be extremely difficult during Haji season. Some scholars suggest that the Multazam doa is best done after Tawaf al-Wida (farewell Tawaf) as the jamaah haji's final act at the Kabah. Others hold that any time is acceptable. The Multazam is not a rukun (pillar) of Haji or Umrah, but a highly sunnah act.
