Question
Can the two rakaats after tawaaf be performed outside the Haram Shareef?
Answer
It is better to perform the two rakaats Waajibut Tawaaf in Musjid-ul-Haraam. However, if it is performed outside Musjid-ul-Haraam, it will be permissible.
If one forgets to perform the two rakaats Waajibut Tawaaf and returns to his home town, he should perform the two rakaats in his home town. However, it is makrooh to perform these two rakaats out of the precincts of the Haram.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
