What is the ruling on Hajj if a woman appoints her husband to stone the pillars on her behalf, and then she performed the farewell tawaf combined with the tawaf of ifadah before he stoned, while she was unaware?

Question:
He says: I performed Hajj two years ago, and we combined the tawaf of ifadah with the farewell tawaf. On the last day, I went to stone the pillars for myself and my wife after the sun passed its zenith. When I returned to the lodging, my wife had already performed tawaf with the women before the sun passed its zenith, knowing that I was her agent for the stoning. Is there anything required of me?

Answer:
The farewell tawaf, my brother, does not take place except after the completion of the rites of Hajj, and you still had the stoning remaining. Is it not permissible to perform the farewell tawaf before the stoning? Since you did this and traveled, you owe a fidyah (ransom payment) for the farewell tawaf because it is invalid; you performed it at the wrong time.
