Iltizam Between 
    the Corner and the Door 
    
    
 
    And he may cling to the place between the corner and the Door - placing his 
    chest and face and forearms upon this place. [45] 
    
    

 
    And there is no particular dhikr for 
tawaf 
    - so he may read Quran or say any dhikr he pleases, according to the Prophet's 
    saying : Tawaf around the House is prayer, except that Allah has allowed speech 
    in it, so he who speaks then let him not say except, good things and in a 
    narration : so let him limit his talk in it.� [46] 
    
    

 
    And it is forbidden for a naked person or a menstruating woman to make tawaf 
    of the House, as he said: A naked person may not make tawaf of the House.� 
    [47] And his saying to �Aa'ishah when she came to make 
�Umrah 
    in the final Hajj : Do as anyone making Hajj does, except do not make tawaf 
    of the House (and do not pray) until you become clean. [48] 
    
    

 
    So when he finished the seventh round he covers his right shoulder and moves 
    to the Place of Ibrahim and recites: Wattakhidhu min-maqami ibrahima musalla.
    
    
 
 
    And take ye the Station of Abraham as a place of prayer.
    
    [Noble Quran 2:125]
    
    
    
 
    And he places the Maqami Ibrahim (Place of Abraham) between himself and the 
    
Ka'bah and then prays two 
rak'ahs.
    
    

 
    And he recites therein Surat-ul-Kafirun and Surat-Qul Huwallahu Ahad. 
    
    

 
    And he should not walk between the hands of any praying person there, nor 
    allow anyone to walk in front of him while he is praying - as the 
ahadith 
    forbidding that are general - and there is no established exception for the 
    
Haram Masjid, let alone the rest of 
Mecca. 
    [49] 
    
    

 
    Then after praying he goes to 
Zamzam 
    and drinks thereof, and pours some of the water onto his head, as he said: 
    �Zamzam water is for what it drunk for� [50] and he said �It is blessed and 
    it is a food and a cure for illness� [51] and he said: The best water upon 
    the face of the earth is Zamzam water, in it is nourishment and a cure from 
    illness. [52] 
    
    

 
    Then he returned to the Black Stone, says 
takbir 
    and touches it - as before.
