Tawaf al-Nisa': Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 13:54, 22 February 2020

Tawaf al-nisaʾ (طواف النساء) is a tawaf and a two rak'a prayer which is one of the obligatory rites of hajj al-tamattu' and al-'umra al-mufrada. It is only after tawaf al-nisa' that sexual pleasure from one's spouse becomes halal to him/her. Naming of this tawaf to nisa' (women) may suggest that it is only obligatory to men, however, this tawaf is obligatory to both men and women; just as after ihram sexual pleasure of one's spouse becomes forbidden to both genders.

It is not obligatory in al-'umra al-tamattu'. However, on the basis of caution, it is better to perform tawaf al-nisa' followed by its prayer with the hope of reward before taqsir.

If one wore ihram with the intention of al-'umra al-mufrada, after the taqsir or halq they should perform tawaf al-nisa' and its prayer and only after that their spouse will be halal for them.

Ṭawaf al-nisa' and its prayer are obligatory but are not among the fundamental elements of hajj. Therefore, if a person neglects them deliberately, his hajj would not be void. If a person inattentively/deliberately neglects tawaf al-nisa' and returns back to his country, if it is possible without any difficulty, he should return to Mecca and perform it. Otherwise, he should hire a representative. Such a person, is not allowed to have any sexual pleasure from his/her spouse unless tawaf and its prayer are performed by them or by their representative.

The manner and rulings of tawaf al-nisa' and its prayer are similar to those of tawaf and prayer of tawaf.

-Apparently, one should perform tawaf al-nisa' for al-'umra al-mufrada and hajj separately. For example, if a person performs two al-'umra al-mufradas or a hajj with an al-'umra al-mufrada, although it is not remote that one tawaf al-nisa' is sufficient to make the spouse halal for him, for the completion of rites he/she should perform two tawafs al-nisa' for two 'umras or for one 'umra or one hajj.
