Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes, this answer is also sufficient for the question of this elderly woman who says, “I do not know how to make varied supplications during tawaf, so what do you advise me to do?”
Answer:
Make supplication with whatever is easy for you. Even if a person performs tawaf in silence without making any supplication, his tawaf is valid. Supplication during tawaf is a recommended practice (sunnah), because it is an act of worship, and supplication during worship is more likely to be accepted, especially since he is circling the House of Allah. Therefore, supplication is emphasized in this tawaf. It does not have a specific formula, as we mentioned, and this supplication is not obligatory. So if he performs tawaf without speaking, his tawaf is valid. Yes.
