The ruling on the two rak'ahs of tawaf for the one who forgets them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His other question says: Is the prayer of the two rak'ahs of tawaf behind the Maqam obligatory for every tawaf? And what is the ruling on the one who forgets it?
Answer:
The one who forgets it has done nothing wrong, because it is a recommended practice (sunnah), not obligatory. As for it being performed at the Maqam, that is the best if it is feasible. Otherwise, it is permissible for him to pray it in any place in the Sacred Mosque, or in his house, or in any place, but it should be close to the tawaf. He should not let a long time pass and then say, "I will pray the two rak'ahs of tawaf." The performance of the two rak'ahs should be close to the tawaf, following it, and there is no harm in a slight separation. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah reward you,
