The ruling on increasing tawaf during the seasons
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : But is it better to increase tawaf during the seasons, or not?
Answer : The correct view is no; it is not from the Sunnah, nor is it better to increase tawaf. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Farewell Pilgrimage did not perform tawaf except for the tawaf of the rites only. He performed the tawaf of arrival, the tawaf of ifadah, and the tawaf of farewell, even though he remained for four days before ascending to Mina, and he did not descend to Makkah to perform tawaf. This indicates that it is not from the Sunnah, nor is it better to increase tawaf on the days of the seasons, because there are people in the House who are more deserving of it than you, such as those who have performed Hajj or 'Umrah, so they are more deserving of the House than you.
So the statement of the author (may Allah have mercy on him) that one should say the taslim at every time is subject to consideration. Rather, it is said: As for if a person is in Makkah or is coming to it, and there are no seasons, then there is no harm.
