The ruling on tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) without ritual purity

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, she performed 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage) with her husband, and during the tawaf her wudu' (ablution for prayer) was broken, so she completed the rounds until she finished.

Answer:
Ritual purity is required for tawaf, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): This is narrated from Ibn 'Abbas as a mawquf (a report stopping at a Companion), but it has the ruling of marfu' (a report traced to the Prophet) because this is a matter that does not admit of personal opinion, so it has the ruling of marfu'. Therefore, ritual purity is required for tawaf, according to the majority of scholars. So the tawaf must be repeated. If she performed the tawaf without being in a state of ritual purity, it must be repeated, whether it was for Hajj (the major pilgrimage) or 'Umrah. Yes.
