The virtue of being close to the Ka'bah during tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is there a preference in tawaf around the Ka'bah regarding the first circuit versus the second?
Answer:
The closer one is to the Ka'bah, the better it is. However, if being farther away allows one to avoid the crowd, one should stay away from the crowd so as not to harm oneself, and praise be to Allah.
The presenter:
Do you love Allah?
