Tawaf
What is the ruling on performing tawaf while live streaming on Facebook or Instagram?
Answer in brief
This fatwa holds that performing tawaf while live streaming on Facebook or Instagram is permissible, but it is better to avoid it. Tawaf and sa'i are acts of worship that should be devoted to supplication, remembrance of Allah, Quran recitation, salawat upon the Prophet SAW and focus of the heart on Allah SWT. The fatwa cites the hadith that tawaf is like prayer and that any speech during it should be good.
