The ruling on one who circumambulates the House while in a state of ritual impurity

Question:
May Allah reward you. In her final question, she asks: Is ritual purity a condition for the tawaf of visitation? And what should one do if he performed tawaf without wudu?
Answer:
All tawaf requires ritual purity because it is an act of worship. It is not recorded that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ever performed tawaf without wudu. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said to Aisha when she was menstruating: Muwatta Malik 20:236 "Do not circumambulate the House until you become pure." His statement "until you become pure" is evidence that ritual purity is a condition for tawaf.
When Safiyyah was menstruating after completing her Hajj, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this. He asked, "Is she holding us up?" assuming that she had not performed the tawaf of departure. When they told him, "She has performed the tawaf of departure, O Messenger of Allah," he said, "Then let her depart," meaning let her travel, and he waived the tawaf of farewell for her, despite the recommendation of the tawaf of farewell. If tawaf by a woman, or tawaf by anyone, were permissible without ritual purity, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not have forbidden the menstruating woman from it. He told her, "Circumambulate." Yes.
