Carrying a child during tawaf while the child is wearing a diaper
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 17326 )
Q: Many times we go to perform 'Umrah in the House of Allah
The forbidden act is that during tawaf, I carry with me my small daughter, who is one and a half years old, and she is wearing a diaper . I have heard that tawaf in this state is not permissible, since the diaper is usually affected by urine. Given her young age, I cannot leave her anywhere. Also, sometimes a mother is forced to carry her infant during prayer, and he is also wearing a diaper, and it is possible that urine has affected it . We want to know, from your eminence, the ruling on this? Please inform us, and may Allah reward you with good.
A: It is permissible for the one performing tawaf to carry a child, even if the child is wearing a diaper, provided that nothing of ritual impurity affects the body or clothing of the one performing tawaf. The same applies to praying with the child. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
