The Ruling on the Arrival Tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: Is the arrival tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) obligatory for one who is not a resident of Makkah?
The Shaykh:
The arrival tawaf, my brother, is a recommended practice (sunnah), not obligatory, for the one performing Hajj alone (ifrad) and the one combining Hajj and 'Umrah (qiran). He performs the arrival tawaf as a recommended practice, not as an obligation.
The questioner:
And in the continuation of his question, he asks: Is it permissible to delay it?
The Shaykh:
The arrival tawaf is for the one who is arriving. As for the one who is a resident of Makkah, he is not an arrival; he enters the state of ihram from his place and goes to 'Arafah, and he does not go to perform the arrival tawaf.
