Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the voluntary tawaf, the recommended tawaf, is it required that the number of rounds be seven?
Answer:
Yes, it must be seven rounds, just as prayer must be; the voluntary prayer must be two rak'ahs, one rak'ah is not sufficient. So the rounds of tawaf are like the rak'ahs of prayer; they must be completed. Yes.
