The Ruling on Inventing a Slide for Tawaf Around the Kaaba
What is the ruling on a Saudi student's invention of a slide around the Kaaba, with seven laps so that the pilgrim slides once and completes the Tawaf of Hajj?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Walking is a condition for the validity of Tawaf, riding does not suffice, and sliding is a type of riding, so it does not suffice. And God knows best.
