Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Rites of Umrah al-Mufradah Prayer of Tawaf ================== Article 514 - It is obligatory to perform two Rak’ats prayer after obligatory Tawaf and it is obligatory precaution to perform this prayer behind Maqam of Ibrahim but it is not necessary to be connected to that, and it is enough that it is said that this person has performed the prayer behind Maqam of Ibrahim.

Place of Prayer of Tawaf Article 515 - Place of prayer of Tawaf, as we have said before, is behind Maqam of Ibrahim, but if crowd make to much pressure then it is permitted to perform prayer at one of the sides of Maqam of Ibrahim or with a distance behind that, especially when Tawaf-performer are too many that their rows reach behind Maqam of Ibrahim and performing prayer is hard in there, in this case pilgrims should not insist on performing prayer close to Maqam of Ibrahim and it should be performed in a place that this problem is not present.

And acts of some commons to make a boundary hand in hand for prayer-performers has no necessity and if this act disturb Tawaf-performers or other prayer-performers then it is not free of problems and they should go backward more until they doesn’t disturb Tawaf-performers. Question 516 - You have said that: “it is obligatory to perform prayer of Tawaf behind Maqam of Ibrahim”, how long behind Maqam of Ibrahim is the zone and is it possible to define a definite boundary for that?

Answer: This is a conventional matter; which means people say that he/she is performing prayer behind Maqam of Ibrahim. Question 517 - A person has performed his prayer behind Hijr Ismael assuming that it is Maqam of Ibrahim. What is his duty? If he recognizes after Taqsir then should acts of after prayer also be performed again? Answer: He should perform his prayer behind Maqam of Ibrahim again and performing the acts after that again is not necessary.

Question 518 - Is performing prayer behind Maqam of Ibrahim a Taklifi (injunctive; like Haraam, obligatory, Mustahab…) or Vaz’ee ruling? In other hand, if a person (for example) performs his/her prayer near the wall of Zamzam then is his/her prayer invalidated, or prayer is correct and he has just performed a sin?

Answer: Performing prayer behind Maqam of Ibrahim is one of conditions and is considered as a Vaz’ee ruling, and if the person cannot perform the prayer behind Maqam because of congestion of crowd then goes backward until there is no disturbance for Tawaf-performers.
