Q: I threw the Jamarat-ul-Kubra (the closest stone pillar to Makkah) on the day of `Eid-ul-Adha (the Festival of the Sacrifice) and then I went to the tents in Mina and prayed the Zhuhr (Noon), `Asr (Afternoon), and Maghrib (Sunset) Prayers. After sunset, I headed for Makkah Al-Mukarramah in the company of some women and a group of other pilgrims to perform Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj), because I was Mutamatti` (pilgrim performing `Umrah during the months of Hajj, followed by Hajj in the same year with a break in between). However, I could not return until after dawn from Makkah Al-Mukarramah because of my attendance on the group of women and the great crowd. Thus, I did not spend the night in Mina that night and could not come back to Mina because of the reasons cited above. At the same time, I did not spend the night in Makkah Al-Mukarramah on that day. Indeed, I spent the night while performing Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah) and Sa`y (going between Safa and Marwah during Hajj and `Umrah) until the time of Fajr (Dawn) Prayer became due. Is it mandatory on me to offer a sacrificial animal for that? Please, advise me on this.
