Primary text

Raml and Idtiba' are not recommended in any Tawaf other than what has been specifically mentioned, because the Prophet (PBUH) and his companions only performed them in those initial circuits.

Supporting text

The initial argument against Al-Qadi's view is upheld: Just as one who omits Raml in the first three circuits does not make it up in the remaining four, one who omits audible recitation in the first two rak'ahs of an audible prayer does not make it up in the latter two. It is not logical for an optional element of one act of worship to be compensated for in a different act of worship.
