Tawaf and the Ka'bah behind the back due to defending women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a man performs tawaf with the Ka'bah behind his back because he is defending his women, is his tawaf valid, or does he have to repeat it?
Answer:
No, he should not place the Ka'bah behind his back except out of necessity, for example, at the beginning, meaning for a moment when he defends his women, and then he straightens up. There is no harm in that; an incidental and brief matter is fine. However, if the entire tawaf is done with his back to the Ka'bah, the tawaf is not valid. Yes.
