What is the ruling regarding the Hajj of a wife who was overcome by drowsiness during the Arrival Tawaf (Tawaf al-Qudum) of Hajj?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The wife's drowsiness during the tawaf of arrival does not affect the validity of her Hajj, for the tawaf of arrival is a Sunnah for the Qarin (one performing Hajj and Umrah together) and the Mufrid (one performing Hajj only), and nothing is required if it is omitted. Al-Khatib Al-Shirbini Al-Shafi'i mentioned that sleeping during tawaf in a manner that does not invalidate ablution does not interrupt the tawaf.
