Q: I traveled from
Najd
after Ramadan 1373 A.H. to perform Hajj. I was ignorant of the rituals of Hajj, so when I arrived at
Mahd Al-Dahab,
near
Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah,
I took a car to
Jeddah
through
`Asfan
but I did not enter the state of Ihram (ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah) and I did not pass by
Makkah.
When I arrived at
Jeddah,
I entered the state of Ihram and performed `Umrah (lesser pilgrimage). Later, I returned to
Jeddah
till the time of Hajj. I entered Ihram at
Jeddah
for Hajj. After arriving at
Makkah
on 7/12/1373 A.H., I passed over
Makkah
and
Mina.
I offered Zhuhr (Noon) Prayer on the eighth day of Dhul-Hijjah in
Masjid Namirah in `Arafah
and I spent the night there.
I witnessed the whole
Day of
`Arafah (9th of Dhul-Hijjah)
in
`Arafah
and went along with the people.Do I have to make Kaffarah (expiation)
for passing the Miqat (site for entering the ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah) and staying the eighth and the ninth days of Dhul-Hijjah in
`Arafah?
Please guide me. May Allah reward you with the best.
A:
You must pay Fidyah (ransom) for passing the Miqat without entering Ihram. This is done by slaughtering a sheep (Part No. 10; Page No. 109) in
Makkah and distributing its meat to the poor in
Al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque in Makkah). If you cannot afford to do this, you have to fast ten days. You do not have to offer anything for not spending the night of
`Arafah in
Mina. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
