Question:
He says: I was performing tawaf around the House today, and when the rain started, I noticed that... Is tawaf during the rain recommended? And what is required of me if I interrupt the tawaf?
Answer:
If the rain harms you because it bothers you with the moisture of the water seeping in, there is no harm if you sit in a place where the rain does not fall on you. When the rain stops, you return and complete the tawaf, on the condition that you remain in a state of ritual purity; you must remain pure. However, if the rain is light and you are not harmed by it, complete the tawaf. Yes.
