The invalidation of wudu' in the seventh lap of tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling for one whose wudu' is invalidated in the seventh lap? Does he complete the tawaf or does he break it off?
The Shaykh:
If he is in the seventh lap and his wudu' is invalidated at the end of it, he goes to perform wudu' and starts over, or if his wudu' is invalidated before he finishes, having prayed his entire prayer, he must perform wudu' and start over.
The questioner:
So if the crowd is very heavy, is that considered an excuse? If the crowd is very heavy, he waits until the crowd disperses.
The Shaykh:
Yes, the crowd is primitive; it goes and comes in waves.
