The ruling on circumambulating the Ka'bah while praying the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A sister from Makkah al-Mukarramah asks: I go to al-Masjid al-Haram every week, Shaykh, to pray the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers. Is it recommended for me to perform tawaf (circumambulation) around the Ka'bah, or should I be content with just the greeting of the mosque?

Answer:
Yes, if you combine the two—tawaf around the Sacred Ka'bah and the voluntary prayer—then that is better. Praying the two rak'ahs of tawaf and whatever voluntary prayers you can manage is better. And if you limit yourself to the prayer and leave off the tawaf, there is no blame on you. Yes.
