بَابُ جَوَازِ الطَّوَافِ بِالْبَيْتِ فِي أَيِّ وَقْتٍ كَانَ وَمَنْ قَالَ بِكَرَاهَتِهِ فِي بَعْضِChapter: Permissibility of Performing Tawaf at Any Time, and Those Who Disliked It at Certain Times
Hadith 4369
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ الطَّوَافِ بِالْكَعْبَةِ فَقَالَ: كُنَّا نَطُوفُ فَنَمْسَحُ الرُّكْنَ الْفَاتِحَةَ وَالْخَاتِمَةَ، وَلَمْ نَكُنْ نَطُوفُ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ وَلَا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ وَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى قَرْنَيِ الشَّيْطَانِ))
Abu Zubair says: I asked Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) about the circumambulation (Tawaf) of the Ka'bah, so he said: We used to perform Tawaf and touch the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone, and we would not perform Tawaf after the Fajr prayer until sunrise, nor after Asr until sunset, because I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: The sun rises between the two horns of Satan.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The marfu‘ portion of this hadith is authentic, that the sun rises between the two horns of Satan, but through the first hadith of this chapter, the Ka‘bah (Baytullah) has been exempted from this dislike. The fact that some Companions and Imams considered the Ka‘bah to be included in the purview of the ahadith regarding these disliked times is their personal ijtihad; the reason for this was that they were not aware of the aforementioned hadith with this specific distinction. There are a total of three opinions regarding this issue:
1. The view of a group including Sayyiduna ‘Umar, Sayyiduna Mu‘adh bin ‘Afra’ radi Allahu anhuma, and Imam Malik is that after the Fajr and ‘Asr prayers, circumambulation (tawaf) is permissible, but the two rak‘ahs of prayer should be performed after sunrise and after sunset.
2. The opinion of some scholars, including Sa‘id bin Jubayr and Mujahid, is that circumambulation (tawaf) after the Fajr and ‘Asr prayers is disliked (makruh).
3. The position of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar, Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas, Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah bin Zubayr, Imam Hasan, ‘Ata’, Tawus, Qasim, and ‘Urwah is that circumambulation (tawaf) is permissible at all times, whether it is after the morning (Fajr) or after the afternoon (‘Asr) or at any other time.
The last position is the preferred one, as is evident from the first hadith of this chapter.
