Upon entering Masjid al-Haram, enter with your right foot and make du'a. Stop reciting the Talbiyah and prepare for Tawaf.

You must be in a state of Wudu (ritual purity). If your Wudu breaks during Tawaf, you must stop, renew it, and resume from where you left off (though restarting is better if a long gap occurs).
Your Awrah (modesty covering) must be strictly covered.
The Kaaba must remain on your left side at all times. If you turn to face the Kaaba completely during a turn, that step doesn't count.
You must be outside the actual structure of the Kaaba, which includes walking outside the Hateem (the semi-circular wall).

Idtiba' (Men only): Uncover your right shoulder by passing the upper sheet under your right armpit and over your left shoulder.
Start: Align yourself with the Hajar al-Aswad (Black Stone). Raise your hands, face it, and say "Bismillah, Allahu Akbar" and kiss it if possible, or signal towards it with your palms from afar (Istilam) and kiss your palms.
The 7 Rounds: Walk around the Kaaba 7 times.
- Raml (Men only): It is Sunnah to pace quickly with short steps in the first 3 rounds, and walk normally for the remaining 4.
The Yemeni Corner: Every time you pass the Yemeni Corner (the corner before the Black Stone), touch it if possible (do not kiss it). Recite:
"Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan waqina 'adhaban-nar."
Completion: After 7 rounds, cover your right shoulder again. Pray two rak'ahs behind Maqam Ibrahim (or anywhere in the Haram) and drink Zamzam water.
