Question : Is it waived for the sick person? Is the farewell tawaf waived for the sick person?
Answer : He says: The farewell tawaf is waived for the menstruating woman because she is religiously unable to perform it, so she owes no tawaf. As for the sick person, we say there is no farewell tawaf required of him because he is religiously unable to perform it.
Not physically, but religiously, no matter what. If he is physically unable to perform it, we say: if the sick person reaches a stage where he cannot perform the tawaf on foot, nor while being carried, nor while riding, then it is waived for him. For example, if he finds that when the caravan is about to depart, he is unconscious due to the severity of his illness, then he owes no farewell tawaf and no fidyah (ransom payment), because he is unable. However, if he cannot perform the tawaf on foot but can do so by riding or being carried, then he must be carried. This is because Umm Salim (may Allah be pleased with her) complained to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that she was ill at the time of the farewell, and he said to her: "Fear me from behind me"
