The Ruling on Voluntary Tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From the questions of the questioner. Honorable Shaykh, he says: What is the ruling on voluntary tawaf? And is it true that some said it is not established?
Answer:
No one says that it is not established. Voluntary tawaf is recommended. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he was in Makkah, would perform tawaf around the House. He would go out and perform tawaf around the House without Hajj or 'Umrah, because tawaf in itself is an act of worship. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:125] Tawaf is worship, with the intention that it is worship for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). It is not required that it be part of Hajj or 'Umrah, because it is an independent act of worship. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
