'''Tawāf al-nisāʾ''' ({{ia|طواف النساء}}) is a [[tawaf]] and a [[Prayer of Tawaf|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.
