2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from ibn Muskan from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘One who performs al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) is required to perform three Tawaf around the House, two Tawaf between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah and stop Talbiyah upon seeing the houses of Makkah. He must assume the state of Ihram on the day of al- Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajj ah) and stop Talbiyat on the day of ‘Arafah (9th of Dhu al-Hajj ah) at Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime).’”
