Which is better: visiting the Sacred House (Kaaba) on Friday, performing the Friday prayer, despite the difficulty of kissing the Black Stone and praying in Hijr Ismail, or visiting it on a day other than Friday to alleviate the crowd and facilitate kissing the Black Stone?

Friday is a day of worship, supplication, and remembrance. Touching or kissing the Stone is recommended if it does not lead to any prohibited actions. There is no evidence of the superiority of performing circumambulation () on Friday over other days. However, one can combine the virtue of Friday and the virtue of Tawaf by performing them together at different times. If that is not possible, both actions carry reward, and there is no preference between them except by a religious text. It is worth noting that the reward for a deed is amplified by the nobility of the time (such as Friday), the place, or the doer.
