Tawaf involves circumambulation around the Holy Kabah seven times. Pilgrims begin circumambulating around the building of Kabah from the end of Hajjar Aswad’s. A pilgrim has to take counter-clockwise rounds around the Kabah and has to complete seven rounds. Now let us discuss the various kinds of Tawaf that are included in Hajj.

Various Types of Tawaf

Tawaf can be performed by every individual that includes younger, kids, elder, male, female, or disabled. So, everybody has to carry out round trips of Kabah to finish his/her Hajj. However, in the case of disabled persons, their family members carry them on their shoulders and perform circumambulation around the Kabah. There are seven kinds of Tawaf in Islam. Beneath are the numerous forms of Tawaf in Hajj.

Tawaf e Qudoom:

This is the type of Tawaf in which the man or woman performing circumambulation can be either performing Hajj, Umrah, or even if he/she on a visit. Tawaf-ul-Qudoom can be carried out by everybody, but for individuals not living in Saudi Arabia, it is sunnah of our Holy Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h). This Tawaf is a sunnah for pilgrims who perform both Hajj-e-Ifrad or Hajj-e-Qiran however; it is not for some other kind of Hajj.

Tawaf Ziarah:

Tawaf-e-Ziarah is an obligatory tawaf for any pilgrim who’s performing any type of Hajj. Ziarah is also referred to as Tawaf-e-Rukn. This means part of something and Tawaf-e-Hajj. If any pilgrim neglect to perform this circumambulation for the given length of the time-frame at some point of Hajj, his/ her Hajj would not be fulfilled. He/she have to carry out Hajj next in his/her life when he gets the opportunity.

Tawaf Wada or Sadr:

This is the type of Tawaf that is the very last that pilgrims carry out before leaving Mecca. It isn’t always obligatory however wajib, lesser compulsory than Farz.

Tawaf-e-Nafl:

Nafl is any ibadah this is non-obligatory and is completed only indiscretion if the one is only performing in love of Allah. Tawaf-e-Nafl is likewise an option but has more rewards and higher ranks than different Nawafil. It is the best chance for those who stay both in Mecca or in Saudi Arabia.

Tawaf-e-Umrah:

This Tawaf, as the name indicates, is the part of Umrah. It is compulsory and mandatory for everyone who goes for Umrah.

Tawaf-e-Narz or fulfilment:

Oftentimes we pledge to Allah of presenting some religious obligation if we get a choice. Likewise, many people pledge to Allah for performing Tawaf if their wish or special desire is fulfilled by way of Allah Almighty. This type of Tawaf is known as Tawaf-e-Nazr. Once a person has pledged to Allah, and the Almighty has granted him/her the wish, he/she must have to perform Tawaf-e-Nazr.

Voluntary Tawaf:

The voluntary Tawaf is the one done by anyone who visits the Haram. It is not compulsory neither obligatory; however, the sole discretion of the individual. Whoever, if someone carries voluntary Tawaf, he/she has to offer Raqats of namaz on end. Also, namaz may be performed either behind Muqam-e-Ibrahim or anywhere in Masjid-e-Haram.
