The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: It is well known that a person with a continuous state of ritual impurity performs wudu' for every prayer. If he intends to perform tawaf and performs wudu', but he does not finish his tawaf before the time for the second prayer enters while he is still in his tawaf, is he required to perform wudu' again?
The Shaykh:
Yes, for the prayer he must perform wudu' again. He should come out, perform wudu', and catch the prayer or part of it. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
The questioner:
As for the tawaf, may Allah preserve you, does he complete it or not?
The Shaykh:
He completes the tawaf. Yes, he completes the tawaf; there is nothing wrong with that, because he is excused. Regarding tawaf, the scholars differed on whether ritual purity is a condition for it or not, unlike prayer, for which they are in consensus that ritual purity is a condition. Yes.
