What is the ruling on raml (brisk walking) during তাওয়াফ?

Raml is the brisk walking with short steps during the first three circuits of তাওয়াফ al-Qudum (arrival তাওয়াফ). It is a confirmed sunnah for men only and is not prescribed for women. The evidence is the hadith of Ibn Umar: 'নবী করীম (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) performed raml from the হাজরে আসওয়াদ to the হাজরে আসওয়াদ in three circuits and walked in four' (Sahih al-Bukhari 1603, Sahih Muslim 1261). Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen stated: 'Raml is sunnah in the first three circuits of তাওয়াফ al-Qudum only. It is not prescribed in তাওয়াফ al-Ifadah or তাওয়াফ al-Wida.' Sheikh Ibn Baz stated: 'If unable to perform raml due to crowding, the হাজী is excused and should walk normally' (Fatawa Ibn Baz, vol. 16). Additionally, idtiba' (exposing the right shoulder) is done throughout all seven circuits of the same তাওয়াফ where raml is prescribed.
