Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Manasek Hajj Tawaf-ul-nisa Tenth and Eleventh Obligations: This is the tenth obligation in Hajj and the eleventh is the prayers (salaat) which follow it. Although they are obligatory, they do not constitute the ceremonies of Hajj and the failure to perform them, even if deliberate, does not invalidate the Hajj. Rule 414: Tawaaf ul-Nisa is obligatory on both males and females.

If the male fails to perform it, any woman becomes unlawful for him and if the woman omits to perform it, any man becomes unlawful for her. An agent performing a tawaaf ul-Nisa will do so on behalf of the principal and not himself. Rule 415: The procedures and rules regarding the Tawaaf ul-Nisa and the prayers following it are the same as those for the 'tawaaf for Hajj and the prayers after it. The only difference is in the niyyah.

Rule 416: If, by reason of illness or otherwise, a person is unable to perform the Tawaaf ul-Nisa, he should do so with the help of another person or even riding an animal or carried by another man as explained in rule 323 above. Rule 417: If a man fails to perform the Tawaaf ul-Nisa, whether knowingly and deliberately or out of ignorance of the rule or through oversight, any woman is forbidden to him until it is performed.

If there is difficulty about him performing it personally, it is permissible for him to appoint an agent to do so on his behalf and when the agent has performed it on his behalf, his lawful women become permissible to him. If he dies before performing it, then, if his eldest person performs it on his behalf, the obligation is satisfied, otherwise, as a matter of caution, its qadha must be performed and paid for out of the shares of the adult heirs with their approval.

Rule 418: It is not permissible to perform Tawaaf ul-Nisa before saee. If one does so knowingly and deliberately, it is obligatory to repeat it after saee and if one does so out of ignorance of the rule or through oversight, it is apparently sufficient, though, as a matter of caution, one must repeat it.

Rule 419: It is permissible to perform Tawaf ul-Nisa before the two stays at Arafaat and Mina for people mentioned in rule 409 above but their wives do not become lawful to them until after the performance of the ceremonies at Mina, the throwing of pebbles, sacrifice and shaving of head or taqseer.
