If a person is unable to kiss it directly, they may touch it with their hands and then kiss their hands or even just one hand. If that too is not possible, they may touch it with an object like a staff and then kiss the object.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Istiqbal, in the context of tawaf, applies when a person cannot perform istilam due to crowding. In that case, they should face the Black Stone, raise their hands to ear level, direct the inner sides of the hands toward the Stone, and the outer sides toward their own face, as a gesture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva,
