Question:
May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on one who did not complete the farewell circumambulation (tawaf al-wada') due to heavy crowds, and left thinking that it was not obligatory?
Answer:
He owes a fidyah (ransom payment); because the farewell circumambulation is an obligatory part of Hajj, and whoever leaves an obligatory act owes a fidyah. Yes.
