Is There Istilam Before Going To Saee After Tawaf Salah
Please refer to Meezan. Tawaf has been defined as: “ The tawaf refers to the seven rounds which are made around the Baytullah in a state of cleanliness . Each of these rounds begins with the hajar-i aswad and ends with it and the istilam of the hajar-i aswad is done at the beginning of each round . It means kissing the hajar-i aswad or touching it with the hands and then kissing the hands. If the place is crowded, a pilgrim can just raise his hands in its direction or even point a stick or something similar towards it “. ( Excerpt from Meezan ) All other acts like: – Two Rakats after Tawaf – Extra istilam – Extra istilam of rukn-e-yamani with each circle of tawaf – Wuzu before Tawaf ( because cleanliness is the actual condition not wuzu ). are mentioned under uswa of Prophet Muhammad (sws) through Ahadith . Previously Ghamidi Sahab had included the equivalence of ‘ tawaf ‘ with that of ‘ Salah ‘ ( through one hadith ), but in later edition, this sentence was removed.
