Nafl Tawaf: Understanding the Requirements and Virtues

The Importance of Completing Seven Rounds in Nafl Tawaf

Question: Is it necessary to complete seven rounds for Nafl (voluntary) Tawaf, and is it also necessary to perform two units of prayer and drink Zamzam water afterward? Can someone perform fewer rounds due to fatigue or lack of time?

Answer: Nafl Tawaf should be performed in the same manner as the Tawaf during Hajj and Umrah, meaning it should consist of seven rounds. After completing the seven rounds, two units of prayer should be performed behind Maqam Ibrahim to obtain the full reward of Tawaf. If someone performs fewer than seven rounds, they will not receive the full virtue of Tawaf. Therefore, only those who have enough time and can complete the seven rounds should perform Nafl Tawaf. Drinking Zamzam water is not obligatory; it is optional whether you drink it or not.
