Tawaf and the Ka'bah Behind the Back
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a man performs tawaf with the Ka'bah behind his back because he is defending his wives, is his tawaf valid, or does he have to repeat it?
Answer:
No, he should not place the Ka'bah behind his back except out of dire necessity, for example, if he has a beginning, meaning a moment where he defends his wives for a moment and then straightens up, there is no harm. An incidental and minor matter is fine, but if the entire tawaf is done with his back to the Ka'bah, his tawaf is not valid.
