* In [[al-'umra al-mufrada]], it is the second action practiced after [[ihram]] with ihram clothes. It can be done during the year, except the specific days of [[hajj]].

* In [['umra al-tamattu']], it is the second action done after ihram with ihram clothes. It should be done from [[Shawwal 1]] to [[Dhu l-Hijja 9]] (day of [['Arafa]]).


* In hajj, it is the 7th action done after [[halq]] or [[taqsir]] (shaving or shortening of hair and nails) on Dhu l-Hajja 10 with migration from [[Mina]] to [[Mecca]]. It can also be done after the return from Mina (Dhu l-Hajja 12), but it is recommended to be done on the day of 'Arafa.

It can also be done after the return from Mina ([[Dhu l-Hijja 12]]), but it is recommended to be done on the day of [['Arafa]]. This tawaf is done in clothes other than ihram, because after halq or taqsir, the pilgrim should take off his or her ihram clothes. This is called tawaf al-ziyara (tawaf of pilgrimage or visit) because after the practices of Mina on [[Eid al-Adha]], the pilgrim goes back to Mecca to visit the Ka'ba and practice tawaf, and then returns to Mina to practice the rest of the rituals. After this tawaf, it is permissible for the pilgrim to wear a perfume.

{{main|Tawaf al-Nisa'}}
Tawaf al-nisa' and its prayer are the last actions in al-'umra al-mufrada and the last actions of Mecca in hajj. The tawaf is obligatory in hajj or 'umra, after which one will be permitted to have enjoyment with his wife. Like [[temporary marriage]], tawaf al-nisa' is specific to [[Shiite]]s. Sunni Muslims do not recognize it in hajj or 'umra.
