Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person walks in a certain direction during his tawaf, placing the Ka'bah in front of him or behind him, or walks backward for a specific need, such as watching over his children, is his tawaf permissible?

Answer:
It is defective. This is defective. If he wants to wait for someone or pull one of his children, he should not deviate from his direction. He can call his child or pull him while maintaining his direction. Yes, and he should not deviate.
