Is the 'Umrah valid if the pilgrim sleeps briefly after the tawaf and then completes the sa'y?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A person performed the tawaf seven times, then rested, and perhaps sleep overtook him, so he slept a little, then got up and completed his sa'y. Is his 'Umrah valid?

Answer:
Yes, because ritual purity is not a condition for the sa'y; it is permissible to perform the sa'y while in a state of ritual impurity. If he is overcome by sleep, or sleeps from fatigue, or sleeps after part of the sa'y and then wakes up, he gets up and completes it. Yes.
