A pilgrim threw the pebbles on the eleventh day of Dhul-Hijjah before noon


678

Q: A pilgrim threw the pebbles (at the stone pillars during Hajj) on the eleventh day of Dhul-Hijjah before Zawal (midday). On the twelfth day of Dhul-Hijjah, he threw the pebbles before sunrise. Then he made Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah) at 9:00 A.M. On the same day. After that, he went back home. What is he required to do? (Part No. 10; Page No. 302


A: He is required to offer two Fidyahs (ransoms): one for throwing the pebbles on the eleventh and twelfth day of Dhul-Hijjah before Zawal, and the other for making Tawaf-ul-Wada` before performing the ritual of throwing the pebbles properly. He has to slaughter two sheep or two-seventh of five-year-old Badanah (livestock driven by pilgrims to be offered as sacrifice within the sacred precincts of Makkah) that meet the same conditions for Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims). He may also offer two-sevenths of a two-year old cow. The Fidyah has to be slaughtered in Al-Haram-ul-Makky (all areas within the Sacred Sanctuary of Makkah) and distributed to the poor. If he is incapable of doing this, he may observe Sawm (Fast) for twenty days, ten for each Fidyah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
