please state whether this was ramdhan , hajj or other period / month
and also state what time of day it was (morning, afternnon or at night)

i might be going soon inshallah and would like to do tawaaf at best possible time of day when theres less of a crowd

ja'zakallah

[Medievalist]

Depends on the time of day - I went umrah alhamdulillah in the summer.

At Zuhr time you can complete tawaaf comfortably in 12/13 minutes.

At peak times - eg maghrib or anytime on thursday/friday may take about 40 minutes - if my memory serves me correctly.

if you are going this time inshaallah all rituals will be easier and comfortable as well as less time consuming .
Tawaaf during this time will take between 20-40 minutes and you can decide your own pace and depends how much dua's you like to perform .

but in hajj and ramadhan it may take an hour or more especially in hajj it might take around 2 hrs since you will have to move with the crowds

[dunya_or_akhira]

i just got back from umrah and it used to take me about 30 min due to the crowd...after the 3 tawaafs which are at a fast pace i used to relax and walk slowly and often took my time as i sometimes could not believe that i was actually there walking next to the kaaba...subhanAllah... what a great sight

It took me less than half hour.... cause i was in the action.. right in the middle of it where everything was happening..

[dunya_or_akhira]

a brother i know did his tawaaf within a few minutes and at every tawaaf he got to kiss the stone..mashaAllah however this was out of season..a few months after hajj when its not busy

[Ismail Simjee]

Assalamo Alaikum WR WB.

And I thought being a regular visitor - 16 years - as a group leader I knew how and when best to do the tawaf..Indeed.

On Thursday, 20 September, 8th Ramadan I started my tawaaf immediately after Fajar Salah and finished it in one hour and forty minutes..that's a record time for me on the mataaf..no, not upstairs.

I have completed my tawaaf in 17 minutes at the quickest and in casual walk.

Ismail Simjee

[.: Anna :.]

thohr times definately is least crowd because of the heat

[sapphire_blue]

About 7 in the morning is also a good time (crowd-wise) to do it as well . . .

[bint]

when its really hot..thats when i used to go..between 7 and 12...

i used to get my tawafs done within ten minutes..

during the night itd take 25-30 min. i never stayed inside the group, id stay on the outer part.its quicker n no touchin ghair mahrams.

[samelsaid]

It took me less than half hour.... cause i was in the action.. right in the middle of it where everything was happening..
it took me around 1-2 hours in ramadan and hajj, but i don't think the crowd gets smaller any time of the day in ramadan and umrah is cool, :up:Makkah is beautiful just don't get lost but that was 5-7 years ago so it might have been just me lol but after seasons like ramadan and hajj, its pretty empty. and in sa'y they heve two green lights where your supposed to jog in between but some people think its a race...<.<

[muslimuk]

how can it take more than 4 hours????

[Fluffy]

it took us about 45 mins to an hour during this ramadhan and as it got closer to the last ten days it started taking even longer....but as soon as ramdhan was over...it was 15-20 mins....

[Cageprisoner]

after fajr in ramdan took about hour and 15misn tawaf, it was compltly gridlocked.

after tarwaih was usually the best time, about half hour on average to 45mins

[fisabilllillah]

Roughly an hour and a quarter...................hold the moment!!!!:up:

[dunya_or_akhira]

lets see how long it will take in Hajj

[fisabilllillah]

ja'zakallahits hard to know especially if your doing it right by the kaba, depends on rush, and its always rushed. i cant pin a time down since it could have taken ages but because you have to keep on your toes or die, youll never know

But if your doing on the second or third floor, then it took me half and hour to go round, i even timed it. and thats at a middle pace.

if your a wheel chair person, it will take you forever, there are minimal wheelchair people, but even the the saudis didnt think it out so well, there is a only room enough for wheelchair people to go in a line, thats how narrow thier path is.

have u seen the way the turks do it, they form a ring outside of the women and just steam thru

[bint]

yes i have! and they put me in the crowd too! and its pretty scary sometimes. which is why again i say stay on the outer part of the mataf :p

[aboosait]

Now they have automated wheel chairs. If you candrive a scooter, they let you first prctice in a specified area on the first floor and then let you drive it for tawaf and sayee all by yourself. During the recent Hajj they were charging 50SR for a ride. But these chairs are meant only for the aged and the deserving.

Jazakallahu Khair. I had the same experience during my recent Hajj. I remembred your words during most of my tawafs.

:salams

[Kasim2k7]

On the middle floor it took me 55 minutes to do tawaf just five days after Hajj at around 5pm. If you go on the down floor just by the foot of Ibrahim a.s then it takes 15 mins max but you cant go more near cuz it was so crowded, you could not even breath properly

[Musa251]

I think the best time is an hour after isha or after zuhr. I just went last month it took be 15-30 minutes to complete tawaf. But if you're going after zuhr beware of the 120 degree temperature.

It was not an hour after isha. But after Zuhr was crowded but then again last month was no hajj. I was there in the hajj period

[Abu Ubaidah]

salaam
iv been to hajj i did tawaf it only took 1/2 an ahour to make all seven but it depends were level ur on the top takes longer but the ground level depends on the people especially during prayer it gets really packed u have to wait for an hour to get out

Half an hour. Thats quite good. Where were you? I guess ground level

[cookiemonster]

when we went for Hajj this year, we did tawaaf almost everyday an hour before fajr. it was that bad Alhumdulillah. but subhanAllah, even the roof was full of people at any time of the day or night. so many muslims together at once. no wonder everybody is scared of us. they are scared that if all the muslims truly unite. we can so take over the world.

[ze leetle elper]

We did almost all our tawaf in the evening, after Esha, into the wee hours of the morning? This was during Hajj time, and I do believe I never got to see the view from any of the floors because we were always on the ground near the Kaa'ba mashaAllah. Yup it can get really tight in some places but you just have to stay away from those large groups that rope together forming a hayooj chain and sweep up whatever people come in their way lol! :p I think it was relatively calm alhamdullillah, apart from one time when a big group of HUGE men went stomping directly through everyone at the wrong angle to what everyone else was walking and one stepped on my toes :( You meet some interesting people at those times though lol...my heart went out especially for those little kids who had fallen asleep holding onto the back of their mums clothes and were just being pulled by the parents round and round and round...they looked too cute :p For those occasions I had a supply of sweets in my pockets to perk up the kiddies :inlove:

[aboosait]

...................large groups that rope together forming a hayooj chain and sweep up whatever people come in their way ..............

That would be exaggeration. No hajji would ever sweep up whatever people come in their way, let alone give even the slightest trouble to others.

People espcially families hold on to each other so that they dont get lost in the crowd. The others should understand that and help them from getting separated.

[Lefthook]

how can it take more than 4 hours????

Sometimes people help others walk around, and sometimes we're probably talking about very old and frail people - I pushed a wheelchair when I did mine so it took a lot longer.

[Kasim2k7]

I pushed my grandfathers wheelchair throughout the trip and i must say i am an expert driver in that. I didnt hit one person. All clean

[Lefthook]

Well lets just say that in the heat and all, sometimes delivering people a nice, sharp, painful wheelchair push to the calves can help you get quicker results! Though if you're not careful then the policeman in the middle will run up and smack you with his rather painful looking cane.

[aboosait]

.............the policeman in the middle will run up and smack you with his rather painful looking cane..............

Thats the punishment in dunya but not an expiation for the sin of carelessness or rash driving.

Do you think that if you have not personally experienced or seen something then it does not exist? Maybe you should learn to listen to other people sometimes because you may learn something.

Whether you have been for Hajj before or not is irrelevant. What is relevant is that you are accusing someone of something just because it does not fit into the rulebook. Well unfortunately for you, and all of us here, people are not perfect and people break rules. Intentionally and unintentionall. So accept it or keep living under a stone.
