The two rak'ahs of tawaf: Is it required that they be performed behind the Maqam?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, regarding the two rak'ahs of tawaf, is it necessary that they be performed behind the Maqam, or can they be performed anywhere?
The Shaykh : No, performing them behind the Maqam is better. However, if one prays in another place that is farther away and is easier for him, that is better, because preserving the act of worship itself is more important than preserving its location.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : There is a right, a right...
