The Ruling on Ritual Purity in Tawaf and Sa'y
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say to the Shaykh, may Allah prolong your life: Is ritual purity obligatory in tawaf, or is it not obligatory? Is it obligatory for the one performing tawaf around the Sacred House to be in a state of purity, for both men and women, or is it not obligatory? Tawaf and sa'y, all of it.
Answer:
Ritual purity is necessary. As for the questioner, she should purify herself. As for tawaf, tawaf is necessary, and purity is necessary, just as it is for prayer; it is a condition for the validity of tawaf. If one is in a state of impurity, his tawaf is not valid.
