Kitabul Hajj - Entering Makkah and Tawaful Qudum

Question 538) - What does a Mufrid do when entering Makkah?

A: He should first go to al-Masjid al-Haram in a state of Wudu' When he sees the Ka'bah he should recite, "Allaahu Akbar!" and, "La ilaha illAllaah!" He will then make Tawaf which will be the first Tawaf of the Hajj -e- Mufrid. It is a Sunnah for the Afaqi who came from beyond the Miqat. It is called Tawaful Qudum. It is not a duty for the people of Makkah and the Hill.*

*Ghunyatun Nasik: It is Sunnah for the Mufrid Hajj and the Qarin' lf he entered before the months of Hajj then it is not Sunnah for one making 'Umrah, the Mutamatti', the Makki, the people of the Miqat and those living between there and Makkah.

Al-Fath: "It is Sunnah for the Afaqi not for others."
