The defilement of ihram garments with a child's urine during tawaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
While performing tawaf around the Ka'bah, and I was carrying my child, he urinated, may Allah honor you and the listeners and the angels. His urine hit the ihram garments. So, do I complete the tawaf, or what should I do?

Answer:
No, you complete the tawaf. As long as it was during the ihram that he urinated and it hit the ihram garment on you, if the intention is that his ihram is the child's ihram, there is no harm in that; he completes the tawaf. But if the intention is that it hit the ihram garments of the one performing tawaf who is carrying him, then his tawaf is invalid; because tawaf around the House is like prayer. Just as purity of the garments is a condition for prayer, so too is purity of the body, and so too is purity of the garments.
He goes out, washes the impurity, and returns to perform tawaf again. However, if he did not know or did not realize until now, after he had finished the tawaf and it was over, then his tawaf is valid because he is excused by ignorance. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
