The Ruling on One Whose Wudu' Is Broken During Tawaf in 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling for one whose wudu' (ablution) is broken during the tawaf (circumambulation) of 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage), and then she completes the 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage)?

Answer:
The ruling is that her 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage) is not valid; because purity is a condition for tawaf (circumambulation). So, if she performs tawaf (circumambulation) while not in a state of wudu' (ablution), then her tawaf (circumambulation) is not valid, and her 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage) is not valid. It is obligatory for her to return to Makkah and perform the 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage) for which she performed tawaf (circumambulation) without purity. She should start it anew and perform it.
