Interrupting Tawaf for Prayer in the Crowd and Resuming It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: I performed the Tawaf of Ifadah yesterday, and it was a time of severe crowding. So I performed three circuits, then we exited the Tawaf area and sat for a short while. Then the Adhan was called, then we prayed, and then we completed our Tawaf. Knowing that we intended to repeat the Tawaf afterwards, and then we performed the Sa'y. Is this correct? There is no power
The Shaykh:
Yes.
Another questioner:
As for the intention, it is invalid. What is it? The intention is that you complete it at night.
The Shaykh:
Or rather, I repeat the Sa'y.

Then the Adhan was called, then we prayed, and then we completed our Tawaf. Knowing that we intended to repeat the Tawaf afterwards, and then we performed the Sa'y. Is our action correct, and if it is an error, is the Sa'y valid? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
Repeating the Tawaf is the most cautious approach, and seek help through it, if Allah wills. If you repeat the Tawaf after having interrupted it, and you did not intend to repeat it except at night, and then you repeated it afterwards after the Eid had passed, if you repeat it as a precaution, it is better and safer for you. Otherwise, you are excused due to the crowding, then the establishment of the prayer, and then the appearance [of the crowd]. And the Sa'y is valid.
