The ruling on the tawaf of one who doubts the invalidation of his wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, my mother performed the obligatory Hajj last year and carried out all the rites of Hajj. However, during the tawaf al-ifadah, a situation occurred that frightened my mother, and she felt that her wudu' (ablution) had been broken. She was unable to leave to renew her wudu' because of the heavy crowd, so she performed tawaf around the Ka'bah and shortened her hair after the tawaf, thereby exiting the state of ihram with the first exit. Does my mother bear any sin, and what is the ruling on this Hajj?
Answer:
As long as she was in a state of wudu' and it was not confirmed that her wudu' had been broken, but she only suspected it, then her tawaf is valid, because certainty is not removed by doubt, praise be to Allah. Whoever is certain of purity and then doubts whether a state of impurity has occurred remains in a state of purity. Yes.
