Forgetting the two rak'ahs of tawaf and performing them outside the Haram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I performed 'Umrah, but I was unable to pray the two rak'ahs of tawaf because of the heavy crowd. Then I forgot about them, and I did not pray them until I was in Riyadh. Is there anything required of me in this?
Answer:
They are not prayed except in the Haram; they are not prayed in Riyadh or anywhere else. They are a recommended practice (sunnah), not obligatory. Your tawaf is valid, if Allah wills.
