Is ritual purity a condition for the tawaf (circumambulation) around the Ka'bah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Eid Abbasi: From this... another question... ... the tawaf (circumambulation) around the Ka'bah?
The Shaykh: The tawaf (circumambulation) around the Ka'bah: when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prevented the menstruating woman from performing tawaf, even though that would have caused her a problem, namely being delayed in making up the rites of the pilgrimage until she became pure, and this is undoubtedly a very difficult matter, and yet when the Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) menstruated during the Farewell Pilgrimage, he said to her:, so he gave the tawaf (circumambulation) around the Ka'bah the same condition of ritual purity that he gave to the prayer; therefore, we see that ritual purity is a condition for the tawaf (circumambulation) around the Ka'bah.

Do what the pilgrim does, except do not circumambulate and do not pray
اصنعي ما يصنع الحاجُّ غير ألَّا تطوفي ولا تصلي...
