What is the ruling on an incomplete tawaf for one who was forgetful?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: I am a woman who performed 'Umrah two years ago and did six circuits around the House, so what is the ruling in that, knowing that I was forgetful?
Answer:
It is not valid; the 'Umrah is not valid. The one whose tawaf is missing a circuit is not valid. If she performed 'Umrah after that, then the 'Umrah that came after serves as a substitute for the 'Umrah that was not valid; it becomes a substitute for it. And if she did not perform 'Umrah after that, she is required to avoid the prohibitions of ihram now, because she is still in a state of ihram; she avoids the prohibitions of ihram. She comes and performs the 'Umrah anew for which she entered ihram a year ago; she performs it now. And if intercourse occurred with her, she needs to ask and elaborate more on this. Yes.
