The Takbir at the End of the Seventh Lap of Tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on takbir in the seventh circuit of tawaf after it is completed? And is it obligatory that if he says takbir, he must perform an eighth circuit?
Answer:
Tawaf begins with takbir and ends with takbir; one ends it as he began it. He says takbir and then departs. It is not obligatory for him, if he says takbir, to perform an eighth circuit. This is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and is not permissible. When he completes the seventh circuit and aligns with the Black Stone, he points to it, says takbir, and then departs. And praise be to Allah. Yes.
