The Sunnahs of Ramal and Idtibaa' and Their Meanings

In this tawaf, it is recommended (sunnah) for the man to perform ramal in the first three circuits, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did in the Farewell Pilgrimage, and to perform idtibaa' in all of the tawaf,So ramal: which is walking quickly without extending the stride,And this is the meaning of their saying: walking quickly with short steps, meaning: you do not lengthen the stride; it is a normal step but taken quickly. It is not recommended to shake one's shoulders, as we see some of the common people doing; you find them walking slowly but shaking their shoulders, and this has no basis,This should be said: it is a religious innovation (bid'ah); because those who do it worship Allah with it, and it has not been legislated.

Therefore: Two things are recommended (sunnah): the first is ramal.

The second: And idtibaa'.
As for ramal, it is only in the first three circuits, and idtibaa' is in all of the tawaf,And its method: placing the middle of his garment under his right armpit and its ends over his left shoulder until he finishes the tawaf.
