Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Guide To Hajj Rites Limits of the Haram The Haram encompasses the holy city of Makkah from all sides, and it is an area of about 500 square kilometres. 2. TAWAAF The second rite of the Tamattu‘ Umrah is tawaaf, and the tawaaf is also compulsory in the Tamattu‘ Hajj, the Qiraan and Ifraad Hajj as well as the Ifraad Umrah that is also known as the Mufradah Umrah.

This tawaaf is a Rukn or a principal element, and therefore the Hajj or Umrah is invalidated if it is deliberately abandoned, contrary to the case of tawaaf al-Nisa’. If one deliberately abandons the tawaaf, and as a result is not able to perform it before the woquf in Arafaat, his Umrah is thus invalidated and his Hajj is reverted to Ifraad. He must therefore keep his state of ihraam, and directly head to Arafaat.

He should observe the woquf there and perform all the rites of the Hajj, as it will be given later InSha’Allah. He should then perform the Mufradah Umrah after finishing the Hajj. The same ruling applies to the moqassir, one who was ignorant [of the ruling] due to negligence as the one who deliberately [abandoned to perform the tawaaf] as a precaution. As a priority precaution, the same also applies to the qaasir, one who did not know the rulings.

However, this does not apply to the one who forgot to perform the tawaaf, for he should perform the tawaaf of the Umrah as soon as he remembers it, even if he remembered this after performing the Hajj rites, and when Dhil- Hejjah had ended. In that case he should also repeat the sa‘y, as a precaution.

This is applicable if he was still in Makkah, but if he remembered that he had not performed the tawaaf after he had left the holy city, if he had arrived at his hometown, he should assign someone to perform the tawaaf on his behalf if it is practically difficult for him to go back to Makkah. If however, he had not arrived at his hometown, he should go back to Makkah to perform the tawaaf himself if it is not too difficult to go back.

If it proved too difficult to do so, he should then appoint someone to do the tawaaf on his behalf, even the following year if necessary. Similarly, the sa‘y should be repeated, either by himself or, failing that, by proxy, as a precaution. If one performed the tawaaf incorrectly, his Umrah is invalidated if it was for Umrah, or his Hajj is invalidated if he was performing the Hajj, regardless of whether he was moqassir as a precaution, or qaasir as a priority precaution.
