Tawaf and Sa'y on a Chair While Sleeping
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his second question, he says: I performed tawaf around the Sacred House on a carried chair, but I slept through all the circuits. I did the same for sa'y on a cart and slept. Is there anything required of me for that?
Answer:
It is necessary that you performed tawaf while you were conscious, because if you performed tawaf while sleeping, it is like breaking the fast. You must repeat the tawaf. It is necessary that you performed tawaf while conscious and in a state of ritual purity. You must repeat the tawaf. If this was before Hajj, you repeat it after Hajj. You performed tawaf before Hajj, and nothing was completed for the 'Umrah. It becomes a tawaf after Hajj, and your sa'y suffices for what was before Hajj, provided you did not have intercourse with a woman or anything else, and you remained in your state until you combined it with Hajj, and you did not have a wife whom you did not approach before Hajj. Then your first tawaf is valid, because you performed tawaf while sleeping. The tawaf after Hajj takes its place. Do you understand? It takes its place. Yes.
