Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: What is the ruling on the one who leaves the two rak'ahs of tawaf, and likewise the one who leaves the overnight stay in Mina on one of the days of Tashriq and stays overnight in Makkah, due to the unavailability of transportation?
The Shaykh:
If one leaves the two rak'ahs of tawaf, he owes nothing, because the two rak'ahs of tawaf are a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory. As for staying overnight in Makkah due to the unavailability of means of transport, if the situation is as described, and he wants to go to Mina but finds no means, and he is unable to walk—Mina is close to Makkah, he could walk, but he is a cripple, or sick, or unable to walk, and there is no means of transport—then he is excused. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says:
The Shaykh:
As for if he is able to walk, it is obligatory for him to go and walk, as it is close. Yes.
