The answer

The majority of scholars stipulated purity (tahara) as a condition for the validity of . Among their proofs are the Prophet's command to Aisha to purify herself before tawaf, and Ibn Abbas's statement: "Tawaf is prayer." The Hanafis, however, view purity as obligatory for tawaf, meaning it is valid without it but must be compensated for with a sacrifice (dam). As for a woman who is unable to perform tawaf in a state of purity, some scholars have permitted her to perform tawaf after bathing and taking precautions, and there is no blame upon her.

Based on this: 1. Tawaf Al-Qudum (Arrival Tawaf) without purity: There is no blame upon her, as it is a act. 2. Tawaf Al-Wada' (Farewell Tawaf) without purity: If she is menstruating: There is no blame upon her. If she is not menstruating and performs tawaf without ablution: It is not valid, and a sacrifice (dam) is required. 3. Tawaf Al-Ifadah (Circumambulation of Effusion) without purity: According to the majority of scholars, it is not valid, and she remains in her state of until she returns to perform tawaf and sa'y.

In summary, a distinction is made between one who is able and one who is unable: One who is able to perform tawaf in purity but performs it without purity: Her tawaf is not valid, and she remains in her state of ihram. One who is unable to perform tawaf in purity but performs it without purity: There is no blame upon her, but it is more cautious to offer a sacrifice (dam).
