Question: What is better in the last ten days of Ramadhaan, making tawaaf around the house (Ka’bah) or making salaat?

Answer: The salaat is the preferred type (of worship) but the visitor, who came from far away, it is better for him to increase in making tawaaf of the house. Because this act of worship is not available (to him) in his own land.

But salaat is the preferred type (of worship) over the tawaaf. And all praise is due to Allaah, that the times are flexible. You can make tawaaf at any time and you can make salaat at any time. Increase in making tawaaf around the house when a large crowd is not present. And when there is a large crowd, make the salaat. Yes.
