Carrying one's baby while performing Tawaf while the baby is wearing a diaper
Q: We
go often to the
Allah's Sacred House (Part No. 10; Page No. 237)
to perform `Umrah. During Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah), I carry my one-and-a-half-year-old little girl who wears a diaper.
I heard that Tawaf in this case is not permissible because the diaper most likely contains urine, but she is still so little to be left unattended.
Sometimes a mother has to carry her baby during Salah (Prayer), while the baby is wearing a diaper that may contain urine.
We want you to inform us of the ruling on this issue. May Allah reward you with the best.
A:
It is permissible for a pilgrim to carry a child wearing a diaper during Tawaf, provided that the Najasah (impurity) does not affect their body or clothes. The same ruling also applies to Salah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
