Tawaaf

Q: Can one make 3 tawwafs i.e. 21 rounds consecutively then read the waajibut tawaaf salaah after the 3 tawaafs i.e. 3 x 2 rakaats of waajibut tawaaf?

Q: What should a person do if the jamaat salaah commences whilst one is making tawaaf?

Q: I have a few questions regarding Tawaaf:

1. When making استلام بالاشارة must one raise the hands upto the ears (as in Salaah) or in line with the shoulders? Also, does one stretch out the arms (as if touching the Hajar e Aswad) or must one keep the hands in line with the body?

2. Thereafter, when kissing the hands must one kiss the fingers or the palms?

3. When making استلام بالاشارة in which direction must the body face? In this regard is there a difference between the first Istilaam & the subsequent ones?

3. When making استلام بالاشارة during the course of Tawaaf does one stop at the Hajar e Aswad, make Istilaam & thereafter continue walking, or must one make Istilaam while walking?

Q: If you made tawaaf after asr, do you read wajibut tawaaf at that time or after maghrib?

Q: Will my wife be halal for me if I do not perform tawaf ul wida and go back to my country?

Q: Whilst performing tawaaf in Ihraam or not, is it permissible to carry ones sandals in a shoulder bag or in a satchel tied around the waist? Should the shoulder bag/satchel be made of cloth or leather/vinyl?

Q: Should a person not look at the Ka'bah during tawaaf?

Q: Please assist with the following: When a person makes tawaaf in umrah, then he makes istilaam of the Hajr-e-Aswad upon completion of his tawaaf (i.e. his eighth istilaam) as well as before proceeding for Sa'ee (his ninth istilaam). However, when a person is performing nafl tawaaf (not in ihraam), will he still make the eighth istilaam, or can he complete his tawaaf by merely passing the Hajr-e-aswad?

Q: I heard some people are fond of circumventing the Kaaba 7 times. I want to know if this is in line with sharia, i.e. circumventing the Kaaba in multiple times as a form of additional ibadat.

Q: Due to unavoidable circumstance, can one perform Tawaaf-e-Wida in Haj after Tawaf-e-Ziyrah during the days of Qurbani? Example on the 12th Zil Haj morning though Rami of 12th Zil Haj is to be completed.
