Question:
He asks and says: I performed 'Umrah last year with my sister in Ramadan, and we performed all the rites of 'Umrah, except that my sister told me after finishing the 'Umrah that she did not pray the two rak'ahs of tawaf because she did not know about it and forgot, and I forgot to inform her about it. Are the two rak'ahs of tawaf obligatory? And is anything required of us now? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The two rak'ahs of tawaf are a recommended practice (sunnah), and they are not obligatory. The 'Umrah is valid, if Allah wills. Yes.
