The ruling on tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) while in doubt about the invalidation of wudu' (the ablution for prayer)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question that reached us. The questioner says: Two years ago, I performed 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage). At the beginning of the tawaf, before the first lap, I felt that my wudu' had been invalidated, but I completed the tawaf and the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah). What is the ruling on this 'Umrah? Is it valid? And what am I required to do now?
Answer:
As long as you are not certain that the state of ritual impurity occurred, and you were in a state of purity before, the default is that your purity remains. So, your tawaf is valid, if Allah wills. Yes.
