The Ruling on Sa'y (Walking Between al-Safa and al-Marwah) Without Ritual Purity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
O Allah, send blessings and peace upon him. May Allah bless you. One of the brothers says that he was, I mean, in the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), his wudu' (ablution for prayer) was broken after the fourth lap specifically. He says he completed the sa'y. Is his sa'y valid?

Answer:
Yes, his sa'y is valid. It is the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) for which ritual purity is a condition, whereas ritual purity is not a condition for the sa'y. It is permissible for a person to perform the sa'y while not in a state of ritual purity.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
