Question

A person comes to Makkah Sharif to perform Umrah. However, he wishes to perform Umrah the next day. Can he perform Nafl Tawaaf before Umrah?

Answer

He should perform his Umrah first (that is Tawaaf of Umrah and Sa’ee) and then engage in Nafl Tawaaf, since the Tawaaf of Umrah is Fardh. [Umdatul Manaasik Pg.284]

Ask Ibn Masood

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
