What is the ruling on one who performed the farewell tawaf, and in the last lap descended into the sa'y area, then went back up to complete the tawaf?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Well, and all praise is due to Allah.
The questioner : I have one question, if you please, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : All right.
The questioner : I performed Hajj two years ago.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : During the farewell tawaf, I was circling on the second floor, and in the last lap, approximately when I got close to the sign indicating the Black Stone, I emerged from the door into the sa'y area.
The Shaykh : Do you understand, Shaykh? How is it?
The questioner : I emerged from the door of the sa'y area.
The Shaykh : I emerged, I mean, I was on the second floor, and when I reached that sign indicating the Black Stone.
The questioner : That means the tawaf is finished now.
The Shaykh : No, it is not finished; one lap remains, one lap remains for you. So I emerged because there was a very heavy crowd, and there was a bottleneck, because that area is very narrow. So I emerged into the sa'y area through the door and walked in the sa'y area until I reached approximately the second to last point, and then I descended from the sa'y area back into the Haram, approximately.
The questioner : And I completed the tawaf, and this was the farewell tawaf.
The Shaykh : Mm.
The questioner : So I do not know, I mean.
The Shaykh : I say this is wrong.
The questioner : Is the issue from the Haram or?
The Shaykh : No, the issue is not from the Haram, and the scholars say that it is a condition for the tawaf that it be inside the mosque. Based on that, it means that this tawaf of yours was not valid.
The questioner : This was in the farewell tawaf. So what is required of me, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : If you exercise caution and slaughter a fidyah in Makkah and distribute it to the poor, that is good. And if you do not do so, nothing is required of you.
The questioner : Well, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : One should be careful about this matter, meaning a person should not go beyond the limits of the mosque. Yes.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Well, and all praise is due to Allah.
The questioner : I have one question, if you please, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : All right.
