Each answer is an entry of the Sabīl library, shown word for word with its sources. Nobody wrote it for the question, and no machine wrote, shortened or reworded it: the question was matched to the entry that answers it. The library’s scholarly review is still pending. Where the schools differ, the entry says what each holds. For a ruling on your own circumstances, ask a scholar.

04Ṭawāf & sa‘y

Ṭawāf — seven circuits

Purity is required, as in prayer, and the shoulders are covered.

Begin at the Black Stone facing it, say Allāhu akbar, and keep the Ka‘bah on your left.

Men uncover the right shoulder and walk briskly for the first three circuits — in ṭawāf al-qudūm only.

Touch or point to the Stone at each circuit; touch the Yemeni corner if you can, without pushing.

Between the two corners say: Rabbanā ātinā fid-dunyā ḥasanah…

After seven, pray two rak‘ahs behind Maqām Ibrāhīm, then drink Zamzam.

Bukhārī, Muslim · ṣaḥīḥ. There is no prescribed du‘ā for each circuit; ask for what you wish.

Sa‘y — seven passages

From Ṣafā to Marwah is one, Marwah to Ṣafā the second, ending at Marwah. Men run between the green markers. On mounting each hill, face the Ka‘bah and say Allāhu akbar three times, then supplicate.

‘Umrah ends by shaving the head or shortening the hair — a woman cuts a fingertip’s length from each braid.
