Question:
This person is asking about the virtue of tawaf, the tawaf in itself, which is not part of 'Umrah or Hajj.
Answer:
Now, tawaf is an act of worship, whether it is part of a ritual, whether it is part of 'Umrah, or whether it is part of Hajj. You go to the place of tawaf and perform seven circuits, then you pray two rak'ahs afterward at any time. This is worship of Allah the Exalted. Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, says: He placed the tawafers before the others, which indicates the virtue of tawaf around this House. So perform tawaf around this House whenever it is easy for you, whether at night or during the day, and it is a great act of worship for Allah the Exalted.
