Obligatory Acts During Tawaf (Walking Seven Times Around the Ka‘bah)

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One who performs al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) is required to complete three Tawaf around the House and twice performing Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. Upon arriving in Makkah there is a Tawaf around the House and two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) near Maqam of Ibrahim (a.s.), Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah, then is Taqsir (cutting some hair or finger nails and so on). With this, one comes out of the state of Ihram of al-‘Umrah and for al-Hajj there are two Tawaf obligatory upon him, one Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al- Marwah and after every Tawaf, one must perform two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) near Maqam of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One who performs al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) is required to perform three Tawaf around the House, two Tawaf between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah and stop Talbiyah upon seeing the houses of Makkah. He must assume the state of Ihram on the day of al- Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajj ah) and stop Talbiyat on the day of ‘Arafah (9th of Dhu al-Hajj ah) at Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime).’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One who performs al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) is required to perform three Tawaf around the House, perform after every Tawaf two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) and two Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah.’”
