Circumambulation of the Ka'bah during the Friday sermon

The questioner:
What is the ruling on circumambulating the Noble Ka'bah during the Friday sermon, whether for a traveler or a resident of Makkah?

The Shaykh:
What kind of circumambulation?

The questioner:
Circumambulating the Noble Ka'bah during the Friday sermon in the Blessed Makkah, if the one circumambulating is a traveler or a resident, what is the ruling on that?

The Shaykh:
Circumambulation is not prevented from people except at the time of the iqamah (second call) for prayer; otherwise, no one is prevented from circumambulating. [The Prophet] said, "Do not prevent anyone who circumambulates this House at any hour of the night or day." So the circumambulators continue to circumambulate until the iqamah is called, then they pray with the people, and then they resume their circumambulation. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says that He began with the circumambulators before the bowing and prostrating, which indicates that circumambulation has a special status at the House, and that it is not prevented except only at the time of the iqamah for the obligatory prayer.
