He completed neither Tawaf nor Sa`y


398

Q: Ten years ago, a woman hired me to perform voluntary Hajj on behalf of her mother, whose children had performed Hajj on her behalf previously. She gave me 3000 Riyals. I intended to perform Ifrad Hajj (performing Hajj only) but after I offered Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah) and Sa`y (going between Safa and Marwah during Hajj and `Umrah) and shortened my hair, I changed my intention to `Umrah. I performed all the rituals of Hajj as being a Mutamatti` (pilgrim performing `Umrah during the months of Hajj, followed by Hajj in the same year with a break in between). I went with three of my friends to perform Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj) but we got separated during Tawaf. (Part No. 10; Page No. 227) My friends said that they finished the seven rounds, but I still had two rounds to make. However, I did not complete them and went with my friends to perform Sa`y which was also not completed. We did all that in ignorance. I hope that you will consider my case and give me Fatwa (legal opinion issued by a qualified Muslim scholar). Is it obligatory for me to make up for this Hajj or is it valid? May Allah guide you to all that is good.


A: It is obligatory for you to return to Makkah to make up for Tawaf-ul-Ifadah and Sa`y, because Tawaf is a Rukn (integral pillar) of Hajj, which cannot be waived under any circumstance. If you had sexual intercourse with your spouse during this period, you must offer Kaffarah (expiation), which is a sheep meeting the same conditions of Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) to be slaughtered in Makkah and distributed among the poor in the Al-Haram (all areas within the Sacred Sanctuary of Makkah). Or you may participate with a one-seventh share of a Badanah. If you are unable to do that, you should observe Sawm (fast) for ten days. May Allah grant us success.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
