Is ritual purity required for tawaf?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Is tawaf valid without wudu'? Or if one performs wudu' and then commits a minor act of ritual impurity during tawaf, is his tawaf invalid and is he required to renew his wudu'?
Answer: This is a matter of scholarly disagreement, and the stronger position is that ritual purity is required.
First: by the evidence of the aforementioned hadith of A'ishah:Sunan al-Bayhaqi 4:704.
Second: His saying (peace and blessings be upon him):. He only said: This comparison necessitates the obligation of ritual purity, so this hadith supports the hadith of A'ishah, and the hadith of A'ishah supports it, in that each of them obligates ritual purity for tawaf around the Ka'bah.
Answer: This is a matter of scholarly disagreement, and the stronger position is that ritual purity is required.

Do what the pilgrim does, except that you do not perform tawaf and do not pray.
اصنعي ما يصنع الحاج غير أن لا تطوفي ولا تصليSecond: His saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
Tawaf around the House is prayer, but Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) has permitted you to speak in it; so do not speak much in it.
