Ruling on Tawaf Al-Wada`


1763

A: Your wife has to offer a sacrifice for omitting Tawaf-ul-Wada`. This should be a sacrificial animal meeting the same conditions for Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) that is to be slaughtered in Makkah and its meat is to be distributed among the poor. Also, she has to do Tawbah (repentance to Allah) (Part No. 10; Page No. 341) and Istighfar (seeking forgiveness from Allah). Doing Tawaf-ul-Wada` in her `Umrah with the intention of making up for the one she omitted in her past Hajj does not count for the past Tawaf. That is because Dam (atonement required of a pilgrim for a willful violation of a prohibition or obligation while in the ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah) has become due in her case for she traveled to her home before performing the Wajib (obligatory) Tawaf.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
