The ruling on delaying after the farewell tawaf due to congestion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A person performed the farewell tawaf after the 'Asr prayer, but did not finish until ten at night, and did not leave Makkah until after ten. He was hastening on the twelfth day, meaning he stoned the pillars after the Dhuhr prayer and performed tawaf after the 'Asr prayer, but he was delayed because of the heavy congestion and the large number of people. Does he owe anything?
Answer:
No, he owes nothing, as long as he did not stay in Makkah after the farewell tawaf, did not spend the night in Makkah, and did not engage in transactions, buying, or selling for trade. Even if he was delayed, it does not invalidate his farewell.
