'''Ṭawāf''' (Arabic:{{ia| الطواف}}) consists in seven turns of circumambulation around the [[Ka'ba]], which is one of the obligatory rituals of [[hajj]] and [['umra]]. Each turn of this circumambulation is called a "shawt". All kinds of hajj and 'umra have two tawafs: tawaf al-ziyara (tawaf of pilgrimage) and [[tawaf al-nisa']] (tawaf of women), except [['umra al-tamattu']] that does not involve tawaf al-nisa'. When one does not wear [[ihram]], they can also practice [[recommended]] tawafs. After each tawaf, two [[rak'a]]s of [[prayer]]s should be said behind [[Maqam Ibrahim (a)]]. | |||
