Question:
I entered the state of ihram from al-Sa'diyyah after praying the Fajr prayer, then I set out and came to Makkah for 'Umrah. However, I slept intermittently in the car, and upon arriving at the Haram, I forgot to perform wudu' and began the tawaf for 'Umrah. I did not remember until after finishing the two rak'ahs of tawaf. What is the ruling on my 'Umrah?
Answer:
Drowsiness while sitting does not invalidate the state of purity. If what happens to you is slight drowsiness, and you wake up and then the drowsiness returns, this is something few are free from, and it does not invalidate the state of purity. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would wait for the prayer in the mosque until their heads would nod from drowsiness, then they would stand up and pray without performing wudu'. Yes.
