Summary
Tawaf performed without wudu is invalid, whether it is an obligatory or a voluntary tawaf. Tawaf is a pillar of hajj and umrah, and its conditions of validity are the same as those of prayer, including purity from major and minor ritual impurity, purity from filth on the body, clothing and place of tawaf, and covering the awrah. If this pillar is omitted, the hajj or umrah is invalid and cannot be made up by expiation or a dam payment.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh yang demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahawa amalan tawaf tidak sah tanpa wuduk sebagaimana yang telah dijelaskan sama ada tawaf itu tawaf wajib ataupun tawaf sunat.
