The two rak'ahs of are prescribed after every circumambulation. They are a (recommended act) and not obligatory according to the majority of scholars. Whoever omits them incurs no sin, but misses out on the virtue. It is permissible to make them up even if a long time has passed between them and the Tawaf.
