The ruling on hiring a mount to Makkah for Hajj or for other purposes

Question : Yes. If he hires it to Makkah, it is not permissible for him to perform Hajj on its behalf, because that would be an addition. If he hires it so that he can perform Hajj on it, he may ride it to Mina, then to 'Arafah, then to Makkah. Is he allowed to ride it back to Mina? There are two views on this: one is that it is not permissible because he has already exited the state of ihram from Hajj, and the second is that he is allowed to do so because it is part of completing the Hajj.

Answer : There is no doubt. The second view is the one that must be followed. He says: When you descend and perform the tawaf of ifadah and the sa'y, you should look from Makkah toward Mina on foot. This is the principle.
