Q: We are three friends who performed Hajj together while well aware of its pillars and obligations. After throwing the Jamarat Al-`Aqabah (the first set of pebbles on the day of `Eid-ul-Adha) and shaving our heads, we did not perform Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj) depending on the information cited in a booklet by the chairman of Makkah Endowment where permission is given to those who perform Hajj to delay the circumambulation to the last day of throwing the pebbles where a person can do one Tawaf for both Tawaf-ul-Ifadah and Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah), thus we did so. After return, rumors began to spread that our Hajj is invalid, for we neglected Tawaf-ul-Ifadah where we combined between it and Tawaf-ul-Wada` at the end of Hajj. I hope you explain the ruling on our Hajj? What should we do, if we delayed Tawaf-ul-Ifadah? What is the ruling and exact time of Tawaf-ul-Ifadah? What is the ruling on those who combined it with (Part No. 11; Page No. 256) Tawaf-ul-Wada`?
