The ruling on the farewell tawaf with doubt about the invalidation of wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has another question. He says: A few years ago, during the farewell tawaf, I doubted that wind had come out of me. What is the ruling in that? And since I wish to make expiation to clear my conscience?
Answer:
As long as you were in a state of wudu' and ritual purity with certainty, the doubt has no effect. Certainty is not removed by doubt, so the default is that the purity remains, and your tawaf is valid, if Allah wills, unless you are certain that your wudu' was invalidated. Yes.
