Supplication during Tawaf for One Who Does Not Know How
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What should one say during Tawaf if he does not know how to make supplication? Is his 'Umrah valid?
Answer:
The 'Umrah is valid, and supplication during Tawaf is not obligatory; it is a recommended practice (sunnah) if possible. So if one completes the entire Tawaf while remaining silent, his Tawaf is valid. Supplication during Tawaf and Sa'y is a recommended practice (sunnah), not obligatory. Tawaf and Sa'y are valid even if one does not make supplication or speak. However, it is better to occupy his Tawaf and Sa'y with the remembrance of Allah, as this adds to the good. He should recite whatever he has memorized from the Qur'an, seek forgiveness frequently, and make much supplication with what benefits him. He should supplicate for himself and for the Muslims. Yes.
