The invalidation of wudu' during tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
The questioner says: If one's wudu' is invalidated during tawaf, does he restart the tawaf or complete it after performing wudu'?
The Shaykh:
He must restart the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) from the beginning, because when his wudu' (ablution for prayer) was broken, his tawaf became invalid, just as if he were praying and his wudu' was broken, his prayer would become invalid; so he performs wudu' and starts over from the beginning.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
Yes.
