How does one perform ramal when in a crowd?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah reward you. If there is a crowd at the Tawaf, is it said that one performs ramal while in his place, for example?
The Shaykh : How does one perform ramal? Is it possible to perform ramal while in a crowd?
The questioner : While in his place, for example?
The Shaykh : How, in his place?
The questioner : While he is walking?
The Shaykh : Ramal is walking quickly.
The questioner : In his place, meaning, for example, he does not speed up.
The Shaykh : Does it mean that he moves away so that he can perform ramal?
The questioner : No, O Shaykh, while he is in his place, he might be in...
The Shaykh : Stop. Show us how. I ordered you to stand up. Show us how one performs ramal while in his place.
The questioner : Meaning, there is something in front of him, for example, but if the person in front of him walks normally, he performs ramal in his place like this.
The Shaykh : That has become hujjalah. We call this hujjalah among us. This is not valid. It must involve speed. But suppose there are gaps in the Tawaf area sometimes where one can perform ramal, and sometimes one cannot. The closest one cannot, but if it is assumed that if he moved away from the Ka'bah he could perform ramal, and if he stayed close he could not, what is the ruling? The scholars said: He performs ramal even if he is far away.
