Offences and their Expiations 191
Very important point about intention of Ṭawāf
Question 6: A person reached Masjid-ul-Ḥarām on 10 th Żul-Ḥijjaĥ
to perform Ṭawāf-uz-Ziyāraĥ but made the intention of Nafl Ṭawāf
by mistake; what should such a person do
Answer: His Ṭawāf-uz-Ziyāraĥ has been performed. Keep in mind
that though making an intention for Ṭawāf is Farḍ as Ṭawāf is not
valid without it; making intention for a particular Ṭawāf is not a
condition. Every Ṭawāf offered with mere intention of Ṭawāf is valid.
Even during the specific time when a particular Ṭawāf is offered, if
someone offered Ṭawāf with the intention of some other type of
Ṭawāf, the offered Ṭawāf will be considered the particular Ṭawāf,
not the intended one.
For example, someone wearing Iḥrām for ‘Umraĥ came to Masjid-ul-
Ḥarām from out of Mīqāt but performed Ṭawāf without the intention
of Ṭawāf of ‘Umraĥ or made the intention of just Ṭawāf or made the
intention of Nafl Ṭawāf, his Ṭawāf will be considered the Ṭawāf for
‘Umraĥ in all cases. Similarly, the very first Ṭawāf performed by a
Qārin will be considered his Ṭawāf of ‘Umraĥ and his second Ṭawāf
will be Ṭawāf-ul-Qudūm.
Question 7: What is the expiation for the one who went to his
country without performing Ṭawāf-uz-Ziyāraĥ
Answer: Mere expiation will not be sufficient as his Hajj will not be
valid in this case. There is no substitute for this. It is mandatory for
such a person to return to Makkaĥ and perform Ṭawāf-uz-Ziyāraĥ.
Unless he offers Ṭawāf-uz-Ziyāraĥ, his conjugal relations with his
wife will not be permissible even if many years pass. If a married
woman has committed this mistake, her conjugal relations with her
husband will not be permissible unless she has offered Ṭawāf-uz-
