 Yes, Sunnah is also of two types. It is the practice of the holy prophet. The things that he did himself. there are two types. One is obligatory. Th other is optional.

1. Obligatory is that Sunnah which the prophet s.a.w.s. did and told the Muslims to do it.

2. The optional or non-obligatory Sunnah is that which the prophet did himself but did not tell any one to do it.

Israfil is right about the eating of the dates. I may add about riding a camel too. It may be a Sunnah to ride a camel but it is not obligatory. And thanks to Allah, had it been obligatory, how could we have managed it in this age !!!

I wouldn't myself be kissing it for health reason  



You are injecting yourself into an impossible scenario being a non believer.

When you know being a non believer you are not permitted within the precincts of the sanctuary; WHy should you comment or complain beside being facetious?

I thought you were smarter than that!
The first row doesn't guarantee that. You don't have the foggiest idea how things work around there!
 It takes an effort and patience to get to the first row and then some. Some get to the Hajarulaswad some don't but at least they were part of the effort and that is what counts.
But a person gets in front of the Blackstone and says I am not going to kiss or touch it is a greatest arrogant, aimless fool who wasted time, effort and treasure to earn Allah's displeasure.

 Israfil has not been there and you can't be there, so where does that leave you, him or others? in the peanut gallery?

Do you think you can lighten up a bit, both israfil and i are not being despectful. It's just a comment, a personal opinion, there is nothing wrong.

I know about hajj okay! I read, i watch documentaries by muslims who have documented, the news, seen a lot of pictures. I know how packed it gets.

that is your personal opinion, and an error to say it will displease Allah! and you cannot speak for all, i'm sure some get the spirituality and the tresure that out of it if they choose not to kiss the stone.
