The ruling on tawaf or sa'y without the remembrance of Allah

Question : Yes, Jamal. Is tawaf or sa'y valid if one does not remember Allah the Exalted, if one does not remember Him?

Answer : According to the words of the jurists, it is not a condition. That is to say, if one goes around without saying a single word, his tawaf is valid, and so is his sa'y. However, it is deficient; there is no doubt that it is a deficient tawaf and a deficient sa'y.
