The ruling on intercourse before the first exit from the state of ihram in Hajj

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.

The presenter:
May Allah greet you, Your Excellency the Shaykh.

The questioner:
We had reached, may Allah reward you, a number of issues related to tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) and sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) and what is connected to them. It is known that among the prohibitions we have discussed, one of the most prominent is intercourse before the first exit from the state of ihram. It is known that this invalidates the Hajj. We would like, may Allah reward you, to understand what is meant by invalidity.

The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. It invalidates his Hajj in the sense that it nullifies his Hajj, but he must complete it while it is invalid. He must slaughter a large camel or cow, meaning he must slaughter one of the camels or one of the cows, and give its meat in charity to the poor and needy in the Haram (sacred precinct). Thirdly, he must enter the state of ihram for Hajj next year to make up for this Hajj that he invalidated through intercourse. He enters ihram from the miqat (boundary) from which he entered ihram the first time, and he performs a complete Hajj to make up for the invalid Hajj of last year. So there are three things: first, he proceeds with the invalid Hajj of his year; second, he slaughters his large camel or cow in Makkah and in the Haram and distributes it to the poor and needy, or he fasts for ten days if he is unable to slaughter; third, he is required to make up the invalid Hajj from next year, as we mentioned. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
