1)    To be pure from both major and minor impurities when performing any Tawaaf.

2)    To ensure that the “aurah” is covered before, and during, any Tawaaf.

3)    To say the Niyyat for any Tawaaf without which it will be rendered null and void.

4)    To make any Tawaaf on foot, unless a valid Shar’ee reason dictates otherwise.

5)    To commence any Tawaaf from Hajr-e-Aswad.

6)    To move towards the right after performing the Istilaam.

7)    To keep the left shoulder, and not the chest, towards the Kaabaah during any Tawaaf.

8)    To encircle the Hateem during any Tawaaf.

9)    To complete all seven circuits of any Tawaaf.

10)  To complete six more circuits for the one who intentionally completes eight circuits of any Tawaaf.

11)  To perform 2 Rakaats Salaat after every Tawaaf.  (This Salaat is to be deferred if it is a Makrooh time).

12)  To repeat these 2 Rakaats if they were prayed at a Makrooh time.

13)  To complete all the circuits of Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarat on the same day if the majority of these were performed

        on the 10^th of Zil Hajj.

14)  To perform Tawaaf-e-Widaa, (=Tawaaf-e-Sadr), for all those who normally reside outside the Meeqaat,

         irrespective of the type of Hajj being performed.  This is not applicable to women who are ceremonially

         impure and have to leave Makkah due to a valid Shar’ee reason.

Ruling

a.     If any of the Waajeeb act is omitted either intentionally or through forgetfulness, the Hajj/Umrah will

         have been deemed to be valid.  However, Jazaa, (penalty), becomes Waajeeb.

b.     If any of the Waajeeb acts is overlooked because of a valid Shar’ee reason, then the Jazaa falls through.
