رَمَل
Raml involves walking at a pace faster than normal with short, quick steps, puffing out the chest and moving the shoulders — similar to a light jog. It is performed only during the first three of the seven Tavaf circuits, while the remaining four circuits are walked at a normal pace. Raml is a Sunnah specifically for men; women walk at their normal pace throughout. The practice originated during the Umre of 7 AH (the Year of Qada), when Hz. Peygamber Muhammad (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem) instructed his companions to perform Raml to show the watching Quraysh of Mekke that the Muslims were strong and not weakened by the fever of Medine. Although the original reason no longer exists, Hz. Peygamber continued the practice during his Farewell Pilgrimage, establishing it as a permanent Sunnah. Raml is typically paired with Idtiba (exposing the right shoulder).
