What is the ruling on one who is struck by urine during his ihram while performing sa'y?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : May Allah reward you. He says: I was in the middle of sa'y, during the fifth lap, and some urine came out of me and soiled my ihram garments. I went to the bathrooms, performed ghusl, and then completed this sa'y. What is the ruling on that?

Answer : What is the problem? First, my brothers, we must know that purity is not a condition for sa'y; purity is not a condition for sa'y. So if a person becomes ritually impure during his sa'y, let him continue. He owes nothing, whether he became impure through urine or wind. Let him continue and complete his sa'y. But this man, as you heard, did he continue or not? What does that mean?
He did not continue; he went and purified himself from what had happened to him, then he came back and completed it. Some scholars say that his sa'y is valid because continuity is not a condition, meaning that in the opinion of these scholars, it is permissible for a person to do half an hour of sa'y at the beginning of the day and half an hour at the end of the day. But what appears to me is that continuity in sa'y is like continuity in tawaf; it is necessary. Based on this, I say to the brother who asked: if this is in his 'Umrah, let him go now, let him put on the clothes of ihram, and let him restart the sa'y from the beginning, then let him shorten his hair or shave it, and his 'Umrah will be complete. Do you understand, my brothers? What we see is that he should go now, put on the clothes of ihram anew, and perform the sa'y anew as a complete sa'y. The tawaf is fine; the tawaf is valid. He shaves or shortens his hair, and the 'Umrah is finished. Huh? Huh? What? He doesn't have it. Yes, okay, and what? We heard the Qur'an. Go now, rely on Allah, rely on Allah, huh? Rely on Allah. Do not carry the lesson; it is obligatory on you now, and you did not regret it and the bruise? Rely on Allah, and cover his head.
