Q: 11 years ago, my wife and I performed Hajj. During Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj) on the last day of Hajj, my wife urinated. She was suffering from a serious disease and she was pregnant in the sixth month and could not control herself, according to her. We completed the Tawaf and she only told me of that (Part No. 10; Page No. 247) today. Please, tell us what we are required to do, may Allah reward you with the best!

A: If the reality is what is mentioned, your wife has to go to Makkah with a Mahram (spouse or permanently unmarriageable relative) and perform Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj) because it is one of the pillars of Hajj which does not stand without it. The Tawaf which she did was invalid because her Wudu' (ablution) was invalidated during it.Also, if sexual intercourse took place after she returned from Hajj, she is required to slaughter a sheep in Makkah meeting the same conditions for Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) and distribute it among the poor people of Al-Haram. If she is unable to do that, she is to fast ten days. Moreover, if she was offering Tamattu` Hajj (`Umrah during the months of Hajj followed by Hajj in the same year with a break in between), she would have to repeat the Sa`y (going between Safa and Marwah during Hajj and `Umrah) because her first Sa`y was also invalid. The same applies to her if she was offering Qiran Hajj (combining Hajj and `Umrah without a break in between) or Ifrad Hajj (performing Hajj only) and she did not perform Sa`y after Tawaf-ul-Qudum (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on arrival in Makkah).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
