The Takbir at the End of the Seventh Circuit of Tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: It is well known that the one performing 'Umrah says takbir (saying Allahu akbar) whenever he passes the Black Stone in tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) at the beginning of each circuit. Does he say takbir at the end of the seventh circuit when he finishes?
Answer:
Yes, at the end he does what he did at the beginning: he says the takbir, points to the Black Stone, and exits the tawaf area. That is it; he concludes with what he began with.
