Two Rak’aats Waajib Salaah after Tawaaf

Two Rak’aats Waajib Salaah after Tawaaf

After completing the Tawaaf, perform two Rak’aats Waajib Salaah, behind Maqaame Ibrahim. If this is difficult, one may perform it at any other place ( in the Masjide Haraam), preferably close to the Ka’ba.

  • These two Rak’aats should not be performed during the forbidden and Makrooh times, (i.e. at sunrise, Zawaal, sunset or after Asr Salaah). For a Tawaaf performed after Asr, the two Waajib Rak’aats will be performed immediately after the Farz of the Maghrib Salaah, and not after the Sunnat of the Maghrib Salaah.
  • It is Mustahab to recite Surah Kaafiroon in the first Rak’ah and Surah Ikhlaas in the second Rak’ah.
  • Remember: The two Rak’aats Waajib have to be performed for every complete Tawaaf(i.e seven circuits).
