Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

Does a ten-minute gap between the rounds of Tawaf invalidate continuity (Muwalat)? And what is the ruling if the pilgrim doubts whether this duration disrupts the Tawaf or not?

Answer

In the name of Allah, if the pilgrim is not compelled, it is not permissible to pause for ten minutes between the rounds. In case of fatigue, he should slow his pace to be able to complete the Tawaf without stopping. If he doubts whether continuity was broken, he should assume that it was not interrupted. Allah knows best.
