The Ruling on Voluntary Tawaf Around the Ancient House
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Is there a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding tawaf around the Ka'bah known as the seven circuits?
Answer:
He means tawaf in excess of the tawaf of Hajj and 'Umrah, purely voluntary tawaf that is not part of Hajj or 'Umrah. Yes, it falls under the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Hajj 22:29], and His saying: [Al-Baqarah 2:125]. Those who perform tawaf and those who stand in prayer fall under this. Tawaf is required. Tawaf around the House is required. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to come and perform tawaf around the House and pray in al-Masjid al-Haram before the Hijrah, and the polytheists used to harm him. Tawaf is required whether it is in Hajj or in 'Umrah, or if it is purely voluntary tawaf. Yes, not in Hajj or 'Umrah, because it is an act of worship. Tawaf is an act of worship. Yes.
