Is ritual purity required for sa'y?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: I performed four rounds of sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), and my wudu' (ablution) was broken. So I went and performed wudu', then I came back and repeated the sa'y from the beginning. Is there any issue with that?
The Shaykh:
The sa'y, or the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah)?
The questioner:
Sa'y.
The Shaykh:
Ah. It is not obligatory for you to repeat it from the beginning. You build upon the rounds you have already completed. You build upon the rounds, because ritual purity is not a condition for sa'y. However, if it were during the tawaf, yes, in that case you must start over, because ritual purity is a condition for tawaf.
