Rukn al-Yamani (The Yemeni Corner) is situated in the southwestern corner of the Kaaba, opposite Hajar al-Aswad which is located on the other end of the southern wall.

Its name is derived from the fact that it faces Yemen. According to a tradition of the Prophet ﷺ, Rukn al Yamani, like Hajar al-Aswad, has the capability of absolving sins. It is Sunnah to touch the corner, if possible, during the rite of Tawaf.

Concerning the virtue of touching the Yemeni Corner, the Prophet ﷺ said: “Touching the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner indeed erases sins.”
