You made the intention to perform both Tawaf-ul-Ifadah and Tawaf-ul-Wada`

Q: I performed Hajj in 1411 A.H. And at the beginning of Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj) I experienced minor Hadath (ritual impurity that necessitates ablution). I knew that Tawaf is not valid without complete Taharah (ritual purification), but because I felt embarrassed in front of my companions, I completed my Tawaf in that condition. When it was time for Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah), I made the intention to do both: Tawaf-ul-Ifadah during which I became ritually impure and Tawaf-ul-Wada`. Was my Tawaf valid or not? If not, what should I do? (Part No. 10; Page No. 258


A: As long as you made the intention to perform both Tawaf-ul-Ifadah and Tawaf-ul-Wada`, this was sufficient for both and you need not do anything else. As for the Waswasah (insinuating thoughts from Satan) you mentioned, you should seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan immediately when it first occurs to you; earnestly and sincerely depending on Allah Alone. You should not pay any attention to Waswasah acting upon the Saying of Allah (Glorified be He): And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaitân (Satan), then seek refuge with Allâh. Verily, He is All-Hearer, All-Knower. May Allah heal and protect you.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
