Summary
Touching the Kaabah during tawaf invalidates the round being performed. Tawaf must be done with the whole body outside the Kaabah area, and touching it places part of the body within that area. The same ruling is stated for touching or stepping on the Shazarwan, whether or not there is a covering, as it is part of the Kaabah structure.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
dapat disimpulkan bahawa perbuatan memegang kaabah ketika tawaf merupakan perbuatan yang membatalkan pusingan tawaf tersebut.
