Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

The jurists  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  them differed in opinion about the ruling on purity during Tawaaf, whether it is a condition for the validity of Tawaaf or that it is just an obligation and not a condition. In any case, according to both opinions your Hajj is valid.

In order to illustrate this, if purity is a condition for the validity of Tawaaf and your Tawaaf for ‘Umrah was invalid, then you are considered as having started the rituals of Hajj before having completed your ‘Umrah. In this case, you are considered as having incorporated your Ihraam of ‘Umrah in Hajj and started Hajj Qiraan and your Hajj is valid.

According to the second opinion which states that purity is an obligation and not a condition then your ‘Umrah is valid. However, whether your Hajj is Hajj Qiraan or Tamatu’, you are obliged to offer a sacrifice and your Hajj is valid, all perfect praise be to Allaah, so there is no need to worry.

Finally, we ask Allaah to accept our deeds and yours.

Allaah Knows best.
