Tawaf is one of the Islamic rituals of pilgrimage.

During the Hajj and Umrah, Muslims are to circumambulate the Ka'bah (the holiest building in Mecca) seven times, in a counterclockwise direction.


There are several types of Tawaf.

Tawaf - The seven fold circumambulation of the Kabah while reciting prayers. It constitutes an integral part of Umra and Hajj. There are five different types of Tawaf (see below):

Tawaf al-nisa is a second tawaf that is performed during Umrah and Hajj. This type of tawaf is only recognised by Shia scholars.

Tawaf Qudoom ("arrival tawaf") is the tawaf performed by those not residing in Mecca once reaching the Holy city.

Tawaf Tahiyah is the tawaf performed after entering the Masjid al-Haram at any other times and is mustahab.

Tawaf Umrah refers to the tawaf performed specifically for Umrah.

Tawaf Wadaa ("farewell tawaf") is the tawaf performed before leaving Mecca.

Tawaf Ziyaarah/Ifadah (Tawaf al-Hajj) this tawaf is after throwing stones, sacrificing animals (hadi) shaving the hair.
