Commentary
Performing Tawāf of the House of Allāh ﷻ and asking His blessings and praying for forgiveness surely frees from all sin, is a means of reward and forgiveness (see no. 959). It is suggested to the people going to Makkah from abroad to perform as much Tawāf as they can because performing Tawāf in the House of Allāh ﷻ is the best of worships, and even better than voluntary prayers.
