Praying Two Rak'ahs After Tawaf and Their Location
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When the pilgrim finishes his tawaf, it is recommended (sunnah) for him to pray two rak'ahs. What should he recite in them? And are there specific sunnahs for this prayer?
Answer:
Yes, if one performs tawaf around the House, whether he is a pilgrim performing Hajj, a pilgrim performing 'Umrah, or performing a voluntary tawaf without Hajj or 'Umrah, he prays two rak'ahs after the tawaf. It is better to perform them at the Station of Ibrahim. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:125] [Al-Baqarah 2:125]. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified this by coming to the Station after finishing his tawaf, placing it between himself and the Ka'bah, and reciting this verse: [Al-Baqarah 2:125]. He then prayed two rak'ahs. The prayer of two rak'ahs is a sunnah for the tawaf; if one leaves it, his tawaf is valid.
It is not necessary to pray at the Station; rather, one prays two rak'ahs in any place within the Haram, especially during times of crowding and severe congestion. In such cases, one should not put himself or others at risk or cause harm, but should move aside and pray the two rak'ahs in any convenient place within the Sacred Mosque.
