A 2: If a pilgrim is prevented from completing Hajj because of a disease and could not complete the rituals of Hajj, it is permissible for him to disengage from Ihram if he made a stipulation when assuming Ihram by saying "My location is where I am prevented," and nothing is required of him. If the pilgrim did not make this stipulation, it is allowable for him to release Ihram according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions but it is required of him, before releasing it, to slaughter a Hady (sacrificial animal offered by pilgrims) in Haram (all areas within the Sacred Sanctuary of Makkah). If he is unable to do so, he should fast for ten days because he is regarded as a Muhsar (pilgrim prevented from completing Hajj or `Umrah). Moreover, if it is possible for a pilgrim in this case to (Part No. 10; Page No. 389) change his Ihram to `Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) by offering Tawaf(circumambulation of the Ka`bah), Sa`y (going between Safa and Marwah during Hajj and `Umrah), shortening the hair and making Tahallul (removal of the ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah) after that, it is obligatory on him to do so. Then, he must make up for this Hajj in the future if he is able and to offer a sacrifice meeting the same conditions for Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) with his Hajj.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
