The ruling on one who is struck by the sun at 'Arafah and loses consciousness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The presenter:
Please, Muhammad, from Riyadh. I hope the connection is away from the television set. Please go ahead.
The questioner:
Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.
The presenter:
And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy.
The questioner:
My question is for the Shaykh. May Allah keep you safe, and him as well, if Allah wills, and he is listening. Amen. My sister and I performed Hajj a while ago, about twenty-five years ago, roughly. We performed Hajj until we reached 'Arafah and stayed in 'Arafah for the 'Asr prayer, and she was struck by the sun, which caused her to lose consciousness completely. I took her and brought her to a hospital in Makkah, but she did not regain consciousness, so we returned and took her back.
The presenter:
She went back.
The questioner:
I want to know what is required of me in this case. This is the first question.
The presenter:
I mean, she went to her country.
The questioner:
And she was alone in her country, meaning she lost consciousness due to the heat.
The presenter:
The second question.
The questioner:
The second question: Is the opening supplication "Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika wa tabarakasmu wa ta'ala jadduka" or "jadduka"?
The presenter:
All right.
The questioner:
Your sister, or "jadduka."
The presenter:
All right, Honorable Shaykh, thank you. Muhammad from Riyadh: He performed Hajj with his sister about twenty-five years ago, Shaykh. She was struck by the sun and did not regain consciousness, and they brought her to a hospital outside Makkah. After that, she traveled to her country. Now he asks, Honorable Shaykh: What is required of her?
The Shaykh:
This counts as being prevented (muhasar) by illness; the illness that struck her prevented her. So she owes a fidyah (ransom payment)[Al-Baqarah 2:196] she owes a fidyah. And if she makes up the Hajj that she left off because of the injury, if she makes it up, that is more cautious and more complete for her. Yes.
Please, Muhammad, from Riyadh. I hope the connection is away from the television set. Please go ahead.
The questioner:
Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.
The presenter:
And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy.

But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals
