المُلْتَزَم
The Multazam is approximately two meters of the eastern wall of the Kabe, stretching from the Hajar al-Aswad to the door of the Kabe. The practice at the Multazam involves the haci pressing their chest, cheeks, and forearms against the wall while making sincere dua (dua) to Allah. This practice is established from the Sunnah of Hz. Peygamber Muhammad (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem) and his companions, including Abdullah ibn Abbas, who described it as a place where dua 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 Hac season. Some scholars suggest that the Multazam dua is best done after Tavaf al-Wida (farewell Tavaf) as the haci's final act at the Kabe. Others hold that any time is acceptable. The Multazam is not a rukn (pillar) of Hac or Umre, but a highly sunnet act.
