The Ruling on the Ablution of a Person in a State of Major Ritual Impurity for Tawaf

The questioner : Shaykh, Shaykh, may Allah reward you. We mentioned that it is not permissible for a person in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah) to perform tawaf around the House, because he is prohibited from remaining in the House. Does this not imply that if he performs wudu, it would be permissible for him to perform tawaf?

The Shaykh : Yes, this is implied, and it is correct.

The questioner : If he performs wudu. If he performs wudu.

The Shaykh : It is permissible for him to perform tawaf, because it is permissible to remain in the mosque, unless we hold that purity from minor ritual impurity is obligatory, in which case there is no harm in it.
