The Arrival Tawaf and the Greeting of the Sacred Mosque for a Woman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: Shaykh, if a woman goes to the Sacred Mosque to perform the prayer there, is the tawaf obligatory for me, or is it sufficient to perform the greeting of the mosque?
Answer:
What is obligatory for you is the circumambulation. The circumambulation is for the one who arrives; greeting the Ka'bah is for the one who comes from a journey. As for the resident in Makkah, if it is easy for him to circumambulate, that is better; otherwise, greeting the mosque is sufficient, meaning he prays two rak'ahs and then sits.
