In Hajj, the rite that circles the Kaaba seven times is Tawaf.
Tawaf is the ritual circumambulation of the Kaaba in Mecca. Pilgrims walk around it seven times in a counterclockwise direction, beginning near the Black Stone when possible. The movement expresses devotion to God and the unity of worshippers gathered at the central sanctuary of Islam.
Tawaf appears in several forms during pilgrimage. Tawaf al-Ifadah, also called Tawaf al-Ziyara or Tawaf al-Hajj, is a major Hajj rite, while other forms include arrival and farewell circumambulation. Tawaf is also performed during Umrah, the lesser pilgrimage.
A common mix-up is Sa’i, which involves traveling seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwah; it does not circle the Kaaba. Wuquf is the standing vigil at Arafat, one of the most important Hajj rites, while Talbiyah is the spoken pilgrimage invocation. Together, these rites form part of the wider pilgrimage sequence.
