“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is required to perform Tawaf al- Nisa’ alone. He performs five times walking around the House, then he feels trouble in his stomach and fears its getting out of his control; so he goes to his lodging and after relieving himself becomes involved in sexual intercourse

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ أُسْبُوعاً طَوَافَ الْفَرِيضَةِ ثُمَّ سَعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ ثُمَّ غَمَزَهُ بَطْنُهُ فَخَرَجَ فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ثُمَّ غَشِيَ أَهْلَهُ قَالَ يَغْتَسِلُ ثُمَ‌ يَعُودُ فَيَطُوفُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ رَبَّهُ وَ لَا شَيْ‌ءَ عَلَيْهِ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ طَوَافَ الْفَرِيضَةِ فَطَافَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَ

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs seven time Tawaf around the House, then performs Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah four times, and feels trouble in his stomach. He then goes to his lodging and relieves himself; then he overwhelms his wife for (sexual intercourse). He (the Imam) said, ‘He

سَأَلْتُهُ‌[1] عَنِ الْغُسْلِ فِي الْحَرَمِ قَبْلَ دُخُولِهِ أَوْ بَعْدَ دُخُولِهِ قَالَ لَا يَضُرُّكَ أَيَّ ذَلِكَ فَعَلْتَ وَ إِنِ اغْتَسَلْتَ بِمَكَّةَ فَلَا بَأْسَ وَ إِنِ اغْتَسَلْتَ فِي بَيْتِكَ حِينَ تَنْزِلُ بِمَكَّةَ فَلَا بَأْسَ.

“I asked him (the source is not mentioned) about taking a shower in al-Haram (the sacred area) before or after entering. He replied, ‘Either way is not harmful. You may take a shower when you are in Makkah or take a shower at home when you are about to enter Makkah.’”

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِهِ‌ وَ طَهِّرْ بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَ الْقائِمِينَ وَ الرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ[1] فَيَنْبَغِي لِلْعَبْدِ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ طَاهِرٌ قَدْ غَسَلَ عَرَقَهُ وَ الْأَذَى وَ تَطَهَّرَ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has said in His book, ‘Cleanse My house for those who perform Tawaf, and Ttikaf, those who do Ruku‘ and those who do Sajdah therein.’ (22:28) A servant (of Allah) should not enter Makkah without cleansing, washing his perspiration and so

أَمَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنْ نَغْتَسِلَ مِنْ فَخٍّ قَبْلَ أَنْ نَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), commanded us to take Ghusl (bath) from Fakhkh before entering Makkah.”

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ إِذَا انْتَهَيْتَ إِلَى بِئْرِ مَيْمُونٍ أَوْ بِئْرِ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَ اخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ وَ امْشِ حَافِياً وَ عَلَيْكَ السَّكِينَةَ وَ الْوَقَارَ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When you arrive at Bi’r Maymun or Bi’r ‘Abd al- Samad, then take Ghusl (bath), take off your sandals and walk barefoot with calmness and dignity.’”

قَالَ لِي‌ إِنِ اغْتَسَلْتَ بِمَكَّةَ ثُمَّ نِمْتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطُوفَ فَأَعِدْ غُسْلَكَ.

“Abu al-Hassan (a.s.), once said to me, ‘If you take Ghusl (bath) in Makkah then go to sleep, then before Tawaf, take Ghusl (bath) again.’”

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَغْتَسِلُ لِدُخُولِ مَكَّةَ ثُمَّ يَنَامُ فَيَتَوَضَّأُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ أَ يُجْزِئُهُ ذَلِكَ أَوْ يُعِيدُ قَالَ لَا يُجْزِئُهُ لِأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا دَخَلَ بِوُضُوءٍ.

“I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about a man who takes Ghusl (bath) for entering Makkah then goes to sleep, then takes wudu’ before entering, if it is sufficient or he needs to do it again. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not sufficient because he has entered with wudu’ only.”’ (Fatwa best explains Ahadith 5-8 of this Chap

يَخْرُجُ فَيَتَوَضَّأُ فَإِنْ كَانَ جَازَ النِّصْفَ بَنَى عَلَى طَوَافِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ أَقَلَّ مِنَ النِّصْفِ أَعَادَ الطَّوَافَ.

if during obligatory Tawaf one’s wudu’ becomes invalid when he has performed a certain parts of Tawaf. he must take wudu’, and if he has performed more than half of Tawaf; he can continue from where he has left; but if what is performed is less than half he must perform Tawaf again.’”

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَطُوفُ عَلَى غَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ أَ يَعْتَدُّ بِذَلِكَ الطَّوَافِ قَالَ لَا.

“I once asked abu Ja’far (a.s.), about a man who performs Tawaf without wudu’; if such Tawaf is counted. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, it is not counted.’”

نَعَمْ إِلَّا الطَّوَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ صَلَاةً[2]. - عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ مِثْلَهُ.

“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about a man who performs the acts of al-Hajj; if he can do them without wudu’. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, except Tawaf around the House; in which there is Salat (prayer).”’ NOTE: Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), a sim

سَأَلْتُ أَحَدَهُمَا ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَافَ طَوَافَ الْفَرِيضَةِ وَ هُوَ عَلَى غَيْرِ طَهُورٍ قَالَ يَتَوَضَّأُ وَ يُعِيدُ طَوَافَهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ تَطَوُّعاً تَوَضَّأَ وَ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ.

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, from Safwan ibn Yahya from al-‘Ala’ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I once asked one of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about a man who performs obligatory Tawaf without Tahur (cleansing). He

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ هُوَ جُنُبٌ فَذَكَرَ وَ هُوَ فِي الطَّوَافِ قَالَ يَقْطَعُ طَوَافَهُ وَ لَا يَعْتَدُّ بِشَيْ‌ءٍ مِمَّا طَافَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَافَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ قَالَ يَقْطَعُ طَوَافَهُ وَ لَا يَعْتَدُّ بِهِ‌[3].

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who performs Tawaf around the House when he is involved in sexual relation (because of which Ghusl (bath) is obligatory), but remembers when he is in Tawaf. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must discontinue his Tawaf and you must not consider it valid.’ I then asked him (the Imam)

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ بَدَأَ بِالْمَرْوَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّفَا قَالَ يُعِيدُ أَ لَا تَرَى أَنَّهُ لَوْ بَدَأَ بِشِمَالِهِ قَبْلَ يَمِينِهِ فِي الْوُضُوءِ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُعِيدَ الْوُضُوءَ[2].

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who begins from al-Marwah before al- Safa’. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must do it again. Consider if one begins washing his left arms before the right arm for wudu’, he is required to take wudu’ again.’”

سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ عَنْ رَجُلٍ بَدَأَ بِالْمَرْوَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّفَا قَالَ يُعِيدُ أَ لَا تَرَى أَنَّهُ لَوْ بَدَأَ بِشِمَالِهِ قَبْلَ يَمِينِهِ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَبْدَأَ بِيَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يُعِيدَ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked, when I was present, about a man who begins from al- Marwah instead of from al-Safa’. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must do it again. Consider if you begin with your left arms for wudu’ instead of with your right arm, you must begin with your right arm and then do your left arm again.’”

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الرَّجُلُ يَدْخُلُ فِي السَّعْيِ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ فَيَدْخُلُ وَقْتُ الصَّلَاةِ أَ يُخَفِّفُ أَوْ يَقْطَعُ وَ يُصَلِّي وَ يَعُودُ أَوْ يَثْبُتُ كَمَا هُوَ عَلَى حَالِهِ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ قَالَ أَ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمَا مَسْجِدٌ[1] لَا بَلْ يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ يَعُودُ قُلْتُ يَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِمَا قَالَ أَ وَ لَيْسَ هُوَ ذَا يَسْعَى عَلَى الدَّوَابِّ.

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who begins Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah but it becomes the time for Salat (prayer); if he can slow down, or stop and perform Salat (prayer), then return or remain standing until it is free. He (the Imam) said, ‘Is there no there Masjid on them? No, he must perfor

قُلْتُ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةً ثُمَّ يَبُولُ أَ يُتِمُّ سَعْيَهُ بِغَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ وَ لَوْ أَتَمَّ نُسُكَهُ بِوُضُوءٍ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ.

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who performs three or four times Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. He then urinates: if he can perform Sa‘y without wudu’. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful but if he can complete the acts with wudu’, it would be more beloved to me.”

قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع‌ لَا تَطُوفُ وَ لَا تَسْعَى إِلَّا عَلَى وُضُوءٍ[2].

“Abu al-Hassan (a.s.), has said, ‘Do not perform Tawaf or Sa‘y [between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah] except with wudu’.”
