The state of ritual impurity during the tawaf of ifadhah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man was performing the tawaf of ifadhah. He completed two circuits in a state of ritual purity, then he became ritually impure, so he went and performed wudu, then he completed the remaining circuits, making five in total. Is his action valid?
The Shaykh:
May Allah reward you. He must repeat the tawaf from the beginning, because the tawaf requires that one be in a state of ritual purity throughout, from its start to its end. So if his wudu is broken during the tawaf, his tawaf is invalid. He goes and performs wudu and starts over from the beginning; he does not build upon what came before. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
According to the opinion of those who stipulate ritual purity for the tawaf, according to their opinion, it is on his conscience if he follows their opinion, on his conscience. As for me, I say: there is no tawaf for which ritual purity is stipulated, and he does not build upon that in which his wudu was broken. Yes.
