Ruling on Carrying a Diapered Child During Tawaf: Egypt’s Fatwa Authority Clarifies
The Egyptian Dar Al-Ifta explains the Islamic ruling on carrying an infant wearing a diaper during Tawaf in Hajj and its effect on the validity of the ritual
Many pilgrims ask practical questions about performing Hajj rituals, including whether it is permissible to carry a baby during Tawaf, especially when the child is wearing a diaper.
Islamic Ruling on Carrying a Child
Dar Al-Ifta confirms that it is permissible for a pilgrim to carry a small child during Tawaf, even if the child is wearing a diaper and may relieve themselves during the ritual.
Key Condition for Validity
The fatwa states that the diaper must be securely fastened so that no impurity leaks out and comes into contact with the pilgrim’s body or Ihram clothing, as purity is essential for the validity of Tawaf.
Ease and Removing Hardship
This ruling reflects Islamic principles of ease and removing hardship, especially for parents performing physically demanding rituals while caring for their children.
Conclusion
It is permissible to carry a diapered child during Tawaf, and the ritual remains valid as long as impurity is contained and does not affect the pilgrim’s body or Ihram.
