Q: Someone offered Hajj and did not perform Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj). A: If a Muslim offers Hajj but does not perform Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj), their Hajj, though valid, is incomplete. They must perform Tawaf-ul-Ifadah and Sa`y (going between Al-Safa and Al-Marawah). If the questioner did not perform that Tawaf, he would have to return to Makkah and offer Tawaf and perform the Sa`y between Al-Safa and Al-Marawah at anytime that he can go to Makkah. If he had sexual intercourse with his wife during that time, he would be committed to slaughtering a Fidyah (ransom) in Makkah meeting the same conditions for Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) or one seventh of a camel or a cow and distribute it among the poor people of Al-Haram. If he cannot do that, he should fast ten days. However, he is now not in a state of Ihram (ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah) because he disengaged from it by throwing the Jamarat (stone pillars marking the pebble-throwing area, Jamarat-ul-`Aqabah being the closest to Makkah) and shortening the hair of his head. Moreover, he is required to avoid sleeping with his wife until he performs Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj) with the intention of the previous Hajj and with his normal clothes because he has done the first Tahallul (removal of the ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah) by throwing the Jamarat (Part No. 10; Page No. 215

He is only prohibited to approach women until he does Tawaf-ul-Ifadah and performs the Sa`y between Al-Safa and Al-Marawah for seven rounds.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
