Q 4: Does a pilgrim have to do
Idtiba` (uncovering the right shoulder) during Tawaf-ul-Qudum (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on arrival in Makkah) or Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj)?
Does he also have to do Ramal (rapid ritual walk for men) in the first three rounds of Tawaf-ul-Qudum or Tawaf-ul-Ifadah? What if he is unable to do it because it is so crowded?
A:
It is an act of Sunnah (action following the teachings of the Prophet) to do Idtiba` in all the rounds of Tawaf-ul-Qudum in particular. It is also an act of Sunnah to do Ramal in the first three rounds of (Part No. 11; Page No. 226) Tawaf-ul-Qudum whether a person is performing Hajj or `Umrah (lesser pilgrimage). But if the pilgrim is unable to do it during the first three rounds, it is waived.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
