The Case of One Who Performs Tawaf Without Wudu’

2ـ سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ أَ يَنْسُكُ الْمَنَاسِكَ وَهُوَ عَلَى غَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِلاَّ الطَّوَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ صَلاةً. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) مِثْلَهُ.
2. Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from abu Hamzah who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, about a man who performs the acts of al-Hajj; if he can do them without wudu’. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, except Tawaf around the House; in which there is Salat (prayer).”’ NOTE: Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil from abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, a similar Hadith.
