'''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.

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.

Ṭawāf al-nisāʾ 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. However, his/her spouse will not be ḥalāl to him/her (he/she is not allowed to have any sexual pleasure from his/her spouse).
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]].
