What is the ruling on someone who woke up in a state of ritual impurity on the Day of Arafat while in ihram? Thank you.
Sensory impurities must be washed off clothes or the body for prayer or circumambulation (Tawaf), and one must perform ritual bathing (Ghusl) from Janabah for them. Purity is not a condition for the rituals of Hajj except for circumambulating the Kaaba, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying to 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): "Perform all the rituals of Hajj that a pilgrim performs, but do not circumambulate the Kaaba until you are pure."
