What is better for a non-resident: Tawaf or prayer?

Question : He asks: What is better for a non-resident when he visits Makkah: Tawaf or prayer, and which is longer?

Answer : And what is the authenticity of the narrations indicating that whoever performs fifty Tawafs returns from his sins as if he were born on the day his mother gave birth to him? I ask the scholars for information. They say that for a non-resident, it is better not to perform Tawaf because his stay is short, and he can catch up on the prayer in his country. The correct view is that a person should look at what is best for his heart. It is likely that there is crowding in Tawaf, and the person gets tired and does not become humble, whereas in prayer, if he is in a corner of the Haram, he becomes more humble. So here we say prayer is better. The important thing is that a person looks at what is most beneficial for him.
