Answer:

Praise be to Allah.

What appears to me to be the case is that kissing the Black Stone is one of the Sunnahs of tawaaf and that kissing it without doing tawaaf is not prescribed. End quote.

Majmoo‘ Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (22/326)

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and well wisher in Islam
