Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Does every tawaf have two rak'ahs, or is this specific to the tawaf of Hajj and 'Umrah?
Answer:
Every tawaf has two rak'ahs. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do this, so every seven circuits have two rak'ahs, which are independent. If you wish to complete the seven circuits and then pray all the tawaf prayers together, there is no harm in that. If you complete seven, then seven, then seven, and when you finish, you pray two rak'ahs for the first seven, two for the second, and two for the third, there is no harm in that. Yes.
