Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair and Hazrat Ata used to pray in Masjid al-Haram and recite the Talbiyah for Hajj; when they left the mosque, they would delay the Tawaf.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Al-Muammal narrates that I saw Hazrat Ibn Abi Mulaykah perform Tawaf of the Ka'bah and Sa'i between Safa and Marwah before going to Mina.

Hazrat Abu Sufyan narrates that I asked Hazrat Salim whether a person who puts on the Ihram for Hajj should perform Tawaf before departing or after returning. He replied that Tawaf is like a debt; the sooner it is performed, the better.

Hazrat Muhammad bin Abdullah says that I asked Hazrat Qasim bin Muhammad about this matter. He replied that each one of them is better and good.
