An Insight into Tawaf

Among the practices of Umrah, Tawaf is an essential part. As believed, the inspiration and the act of Ihraam is the first attainment of the pilgrim.

The tawaf usually comes after getting through the wuquf at Arafat and the in between passage through Mina.

After the activities of this tawaf, all things become allowable for the (Sunni) Hajj pilgrim who made this trip with cheap Umrah Packages, even sexual involvement is now allowed. The Imamiyyah, who disagree, say that sexual activities are not granted before conducting the sa’ey, between Safa and Marwah, followed by a second tawaf, which they call `tawaf al-nisa'.'

Tawaf al-Wada

Tawaf al-Wada or the Farewell tawaf is the last of the tawaf's that is conducted by the Hujjaj before leaving the holy city of Makkah.
