Chapter on Delaying the Visit (ziyarah)

5 hadiths · 1 commentary

يسمى طواف الزيادة زيارة لان الحاج يأتي من منى فيزور البيت ولا يقيم بمكة بل يرجع إلى منى. والأولى أن يطوف بالبيت يوم النحر بعد الاتيان بمناسك منى ولو لم يتيسر فالحادي عشر، ولا ينبغي تأخيره عنه وقيل بالحرمة كما في روضة المتيقن.

The "Tawaf al-Ziyadah" is called "Ziyara" (visitation) because the pilgrim comes from Mina to visit the Sacred House but does not stay in Mecca and returns to Mina afterward. It is preferable for the pilgrim to perform this tawaf on the Day of Sacrifice (Yawm al-Nahr) after completing the rites of Mina. If that is not possible, it should be performed on the eleventh day. It should not be delayed beyond this, and some scholars, such as in Rawdat al-Mutayaqin, have stated that delaying it is prohibited.

Hadith #1

رُوِيَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ اَلْبَيْتِ تُؤَخَّرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ اَلثَّالِثِ فَقَالَ «تَعْجِيلُهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ وَ لَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ إِنْ أَخَّرْتَهُ.

It is narrated from Ishaq ibn Ammar, who said: I asked Abu Ibrahim about delaying the visitation of the Kaaba (Tawaf al-Ziyara) until the third day. Imam said: "Performing it earlier is more beloved to me, but there is no harm if you delay it."
