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).
