Performing Tawaf-ul-Wada`


876

Q: I went to Jeddah on the second day of Tashriq (11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah) following the throwing of the pebbles (at the stone pillars during Hajj). Since it was not my intention to hasten to leave Mina in two days, I did not perform Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah). Any way, I left Jeddah the same night to spend it in Mina. I threw the pebbles on the 13th of Dhul-Hijjah, performed Tawaf-ul-Wada`, then moved to Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, and from there to my home in Hafr Al-Batin. Is my going to Jeddah before the completion of throwing the pebbles and the performance of Tawaf-ul-Wada` considered going beyond the Miqat (sites for entering the ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah for Hajj and `Umrah)? If it is so, what is the ruling that results from this? Please provide us with your beneficial answer. May Allah benefit you.


A: If the matter is exactly as what is mentioned in the question, you are not to be blamed for what you have done.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
