Sitting for prolonged supplication after the two rak'ahs of tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: When a person finishes his tawaf and performs the two rak'ahs of tawaf, some people sit down after the two rak'ahs and make a long supplication. Is this prescribed?
Answer:
No, it is not prescribed. If you have prayed the two rak'ahs, you proceed to your business and affairs. If you wish to sit for the remembrance of Allah and for worship that is not connected to the two rak'ahs, that is a separate act of worship. Sitting in the Sacred Mosque, reciting the Qur'an, and engaging in dhikr are independent acts of worship that have no connection to the tawaf. Yes.
