A CHEKLIST FOR OBLIGATORY (WAJIB) PARTS
OF
TAWAF
Tawaf is finished but here is a checklist to make sure
that no obligatory part is missed. One should be free
from the state of impurity and must have performed vudu (ablutions).
The women
are not allowed to perform Tawaf during their
monthly period and during the impure state after
childbirth.
One should be properly dressed. The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) has said:
"Nobody should go around the Ka'bah in a naked
state." (Bukhari) To perform Tawaf on foot, performing Tawaf while
riding is permissible only when one is unable to do
so on foot. To start Tawaf from one's right side in the
counter
clockwise direction.
To complete seven circuits of Tawaf. During Tawaf, to pass Hatim as well which is in fact a
part of the Ka'bah.
To start Tawaf from Hajar-e-Aswad.
To offer two rakahs of nafls after each Tawaf. It is
undesirable (Makrooh) to combine two Tawafs
together and not to offer two rakahs of nafls in between.
As Tawaf of Umrah is performed while in the state of
Ihram, one has to observe all the prohibitions
associated with this state.
