The questioner : The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who performed tawaf and sa'y, shaved his head, and put on his clothes, and then remembered that he was not in a state of ritual purity? What should he do?

The Shaykh : As for the one who performed tawaf and sa'y, shaved or shortened his hair, and put on his clothes, and then remembered that he was not in a state of ritual purity, we tell him: your 'Umrah is valid, and you do not have to repeat it. This is because the view that ritual purity is a condition for tawaf has no correct, explicit evidence from the Sunnah. If the person had not exited the state of ihram and had not finished the 'Umrah, it would have been easy for us to tell him to repeat the tawaf, perform wudu', and repeat the tawaf. But after he has performed tawaf and sa'y and exited the state of ihram from the 'Umrah, it is difficult for a person to be told to repeat the 'Umrah with tawaf, sa'y, and shaving or shortening the hair, especially since there is no correct, explicit evidence from the Sunnah that clarifies that ritual purity is a condition for tawaf. Yes.
