Seven Ḥarām acts during Ṭawāf
The following acts are Ḥarām in Ṭawāf, even if it is a Nafl one:
1. To perform Ṭawāf without Wuḍū
2. To make Ṭawāf on some carriage or on someone’s back without
a valid excuse
3. To crawl or drag oneself whilst sitting during Ṭawāf without a
valid excuse
4. To make Ṭawāf in the opposite direction keeping the Ka’baĥ at
right side
5. To pass from inside the Ḥaṭīm during Ṭawāf
6. To perform less than seven rounds
7. Unveiling of a quarter of that part of the body which is included
in ‘Satr.’ For example, unveiling of a quarter of thigh is Ḥarām.
Likewise, unveiling of a quarter of the ear or the wrist of an
Islamic sister is Ḥarām. (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 1112)
Islamic sisters pay very little attention to this. During Ṭawāf,
especially when doing Istilām of Ḥajar-ul-Aswad, a quarter of
the wrists of several Islamic sisters is unveiled, even sometimes
complete wrist is unveiled, which is Ḥarām. Unveiling the hair
of head, the ear or the wrist to a non-Maḥram male is Ḥarām
and a sin even when not performing Ṭawāf. (In order to learn
detailed rulings about Islamic veiling, study the book ‘Parday
kay bāray mayn Suwāl Jawāb’ published by Maktaba-tul-Madīnaĥ,
the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami.)
