Walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah after a circumambulation in which one doubts the invalidation of his ablution

Question:
This questioner says that a pilgrim performed the circumambulation of Ifadah, and his ablution was invalidated during the circumambulation. He was in doubt about the invalidation of the ablution, so he completed the circumambulation, then he performed the walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah so that he would not be embarrassed. Is this walking valid if the circumambulation is invalid?

Answer:
Praise be to Allah. The walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah does not require ritual purity; the walking is valid. If he is certain that something occurred during the circumambulation that invalidates it, he must repeat the circumambulation if he is certain. As for doubt, it does not harm. But if he is certain that he invalidated the circumambulation, he repeats it. If he is in a state of hesitation or doubt, such as whether wind passed from him or something else, it does not harm; the circumambulation is valid. It is the same in prayer: if he hesitates and suspects that something passed from him in prayer, but he is not certain, the valid prayer remains valid until he is certain.
When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked, it was said: “O Messenger of Allah! A man feels something in prayer; does he leave or not? Does he not leave until he hears a sound or smells a smell? He hears the sound of flatulence or smells the smell of the excrement.” The other wording describes what was said: “O Messenger of Allah, a man has something in his belly.” He said: “If one of you feels something in his belly and it is unclear to him, did it come out or not? Let him not leave the mosque environment.”
So the conclusion is that if he feels a movement in his belly, or senses something in his belly from movement, or at his testicle, or at his penis, or at the woman’s private part, his ritual purity is not invalidated, and his prayer is not broken, nor his circumambulation, except with certainty that something came out. Otherwise, the default is soundness. Satan may play with a person in his rear or his front, making him imagine that something came out of him, so that he disturbs his circumambulation and his prayer. No, do not obey Satan. Continue in your prayer and your circumambulation until you know with certainty, without doubt, that something came out of you in prayer or in circumambulation. Yes.
