People make some very common mistakes during Umrah. Some do multiple tawafs on other's behalf, and some do things in a wrong way due to lack of proper guidance about Umrah. Tawaf is one of those points. Even some people don’t go to learn about Hajj after booking Hajj packages.
Most people don't know about its types and which one is necessary or which one is not? Here I will mention all of its types and will tell you which one is essential during Umrah performance. Next time when you travel for Umrah, you will not mess up in its types. Types of Tawaf There are a total of eight types of tawaf that are either performed in Hajj or Umrah: 1. Tawaf Qudoom: this tawaf is performed by the persons who are not the residents of Makkah city. Any of them when arriving to the holy Kaaba perform this tawaf. 2. Tawaf Ziyaraat: this tawaf is also known as tawaf al-Ifadah or tawaf al-Hajj. This tawaf is performed by all the pilgrims who are performing Hajj. If one didn't perform this tawaf, his Hajj would not be valid. 3. Tawaf Sadr: this tawaf is specified for the residents of Makkah. This tawaf is performed when someone arrives back to its residence. 4. Tawaf Nazr: this tawaf becomes compulsory for someone if he commits that he/she will do tawaf if Allah Almighty will fulfil a specific desire. It is not part of both Hajj and Umrah. 5. Tawaf Umrah: this tawaf is a part of Umrah. It is obligatory for Umrah completion. Without this tawaf, Umrah will not be valid. 6. Tawaf Nafl: as the name reveals, this tawaf is optional, and it carry great rewards if performed. You will not have to pay any penalty if it is not done in Umrah or Hajj. 7. Tawaf Tahiyaah: this tawaf is done when a pilgrim enters into the Haram. 8. Tawaf al-Wada: it is also known as farewell tawaf. This is done before leaving the sacred city of Makkah. Above mentioned tawaf belong from different categories described in Islamic schooling. Some are optional, some are mustahab, and some are sunnah and so on. Let's have a categorized look. Non-mandatory tawafs: Tawaf Nafl Mustahab (recommended) tawafs: Tawaf Tahiyaah is recommended on entry into the haram. Sunnah tawafs: Tawaf Qudoom is the sunnah for Aafaaqi (residents outside of Makkah). Not sunnah for those whoe are performing tamuttu or Umrah even one is Aafaaqi. Wajib tawafs: Tawaf al-Wada and Tawaf Sadr are wajib tawafs. It means if you don’t do this you have to pay a penalty. Fardh (compulsory) tawafs: Tawaf Nazr, Tawaf Ziyaraat (Tawaf al-Hajj) and Tawaf Umrah. Tawaf in Umrah From the above eight mentioned types of tawaf, in Umrah performance, you have only to perform Tawaf Umrah that is compulsory. At leaving Makkah only Tawafal-Wada is recommended, it means if you don’t do this farewell tawaf you have to pay the penalty (sacrifice of an animal at returning from Umrah). It doesn’t matter whether you book Ramadan Umrah packages or perform Umrah in Easter. Umrah procedure will remain same throughout the year.
