The ruling on one who did not perform the Tawaf of Ifadah, returned to his country, and had intercourse with his wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
With the praise of Allah, it was facilitated for me to perform Hajj last year, but after returning from 'Arafah, I stayed in Mina for three nights and did not perform the Tawaf of Ifadah. Is there anything required of me in this?

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. As for the Tawaf of Ifadah, it is best to perform it on the Day of Sacrifice, but it is permissible to delay it until the eleventh, twelfth, or thirteenth day, or after the days of Hajj. There is no limit to the end of the Tawaf of Ifadah; the limit is only for its beginning, which starts from the middle of the night of the night of 'Id al-Adha. As for the end, there is no limit to it, but the earlier it is done, the better. Based on this, there is no blame on you for delaying the Tawaf of Ifadah.

The questioner:
But in this question, the Honorable Doctor did not mention completing the Tawaf of Ifadah at all?

The Shaykh:
If he did not perform it, his Hajj is not complete except with it. So he must return to Makkah and perform the Tawaf of Ifadah so that his Hajj is completed, because the Tawaf of Ifadah is a pillar of Hajj. Whoever leaves it, his Hajj is not complete except with it. But the time is extended, praise be to Allah. He returns and performs the Tawaf of Ifadah, and performs Sa'y after it if he did not perform Sa'y after the Tawaf of Arrival. Or, if he was performing Tamattu', he performs Sa'y after the Tawaf of Ifadah, because the Sa'y he performed initially was for 'Umrah, and Hajj requires Sa'y after the Tawaf of Ifadah. Here, it must also be noted that if he had intercourse with his wife during this period, he must slaughter a sheep in Makkah and distribute it to the poor of the Haram, because he would have had intercourse with his wife after the first exit from the state of Ihram. So he owes a fidyah, which is the slaughter of a sheep, to be distributed to the poor of the Haram as expiation for intercourse before the Tawaf of Ifadah, because he has already stoned the Jamarat al-Aqabah and shaved his head, so he has exited the state of Ihram for the first time. Yes.
