Question:
When I enter the Haram, I sometimes find tawaf difficult. Should I pray the two rak'ahs of the greeting of the mosque and sit?
Answer:
If you are not in a state of ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah and you enter the Sacred Mosque, then if you are coming from a journey, it is better that you perform tawaf, because the greeting of the Sacred Mosque for one coming from a journey is tawaf. However, if you are a resident of Makkah and you enter the Sacred Mosque, you pray two rak'ahs and sit, and it is not obligatory for you to perform tawaf. Yes.
