IRSYAD HUKUM KHAS HAJI DAN KORBAN SIRI KE-79: PENJELASAN ISU MEMEGANG KAABAH KETIKA TAWAF BAGI AMALAN UMRAH YANG TELAH LEPAS
Is a past umrah tawaf invalid if the person touched the Kaaba while circumambulating, and does this affect a marriage and the child's legitimacy?
Short answer
The final position of the Shafi'i school is that tawaf is invalid if the person touches the wall of the Kaaba, since part of the body is considered to be inside the Kaaba.

Summary
The final position of the Shafi'i school is that tawaf is invalid if the person touches the wall of the Kaaba, since part of the body is considered to be inside the Kaaba. A second view within the school holds that it remains valid because most of the body is still outside the Kaaba. For umrah already performed, the 33rd National Hajj Muzakarah Resolution states there is no legal consequence if the person was convinced it was valid when performed, and it permits following the second view to remove hardship and difficulty.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Amalan-amalan haji dan umrah masa lampau yang baru diragui kesahihannya, tidak memberi apa-apa kesan dari segi hukum jika dia yakin sah ketika melaksanakannya dahulu.
