The mother’s Hajj without wudu’ and delegating the stoning of the pillars

The questioner:
We begin with calls from the brothers and sisters in this session. We have with us our brother Muhammad from al-Qasim. Go ahead, my brother Muhammad, keep the question brief. Go ahead. Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. May you have a good morning and a good testimony. May Allah welcome you. Welcome to goodness. May Allah reward you. I have a question about my mother on the day of Hajj? She performed sa’y and tawaf without wudu’ because she did not know that wudu’ is a condition. Does she owe anything or not?

The Shaykh:
Yes, the tawaf remains obligatory upon her. May Allah keep you safe.

The presenter:
All right.

The Shaykh:
She must be performing tawaf now.

The questioner:
She must come for the tawaf.

The Shaykh:
She has to make up the tawaf, yes.

The questioner:
Thank you. And what about the tawaf al-ifadhah? She was able to do the stoning of the pillars herself, but she delegated it. Does she owe anything?

The Shaykh:
If she is unable to stone or if stoning is difficult for her, then she delegates it. But if she is capable, then she must stone it herself.

The questioner:
Good, now she delegated it to someone. She was capable, but there was a crowd and such, so she delegated it to her brother.

The Shaykh:
In the crowd, if there is a crowd and the woman is weak, then this is an excuse, there is no harm, yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Shaykh.
