The Meaning of Iḍṭibāʿ

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And Honorable Shaykh, what is the meaning of iḍṭibāʿ?

Answer:
Iḍṭibāʿ means that he exposes his right shoulder and upper arm. This is iḍṭibāʿ; that is, he places the middle of the cloak under his right armpit and puts its two ends over his left shoulder. Thus, his left shoulder remains covered, while his right shoulder is exposed along with the upper arm, so that he can perform the fast walk (ramal) and hasten in it, displaying strength. This is iḍṭibāʿ: exposing the ḍiʿ, which is the shoulder. The shoulder is called a ḍiʿ. It is a recommended practice (sunnah) in the tawaf of ʿUmrah and the tawaf of arrival. Yes.
