Tawaf al-Qudum for hajj ifrad - [8]

 Tawaf al-qudum for a pilgrim on hajj ifrad

A pilgrim who assumes ihram for hajj only [hajj ifrad] or for both hajj and 'umrah [hajj qiran], must perform tawaf al-qudum (going-forth circumambulation) after arriving in Mecca in a state of ihram and after depositing his luggage at his accommodations. Tawaf al-qudum consists of seven rounds.

It is permissible for him to perform sa'y between as-Safa and al-Marwa in the above mentioned manner or delay it until after performing tawaf al-ifadah and, in this case, a pilgrim is not to release himself from ihram until he finishes the rites of hajj and 'umrah and stand on 'Arafat.

Afterwards, a pilgrim first makes the partial release from ihram and then fully releases himself from ihram by performing tawaf al-ifadah.
