Starting the Tawaf from other than the Black Stone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is a question. The questioner says: A man did not begin his arrival tawaf and the tawaf of farewell in Hajj from the Black Stone, and he was told to repeat the tawaf, so he repeated it while wearing his regular clothes, not the ihram garments. Does he owe anything?
The Shaykh:
If he started from the Yemeni Corner and completed the seventh lap to the Black Stone, that is fine. But the important thing is that he completes seven laps from the Black Stone to the Black Stone, from the Black Stone to the Black Stone. Even if he started from the Yemeni Corner, it is valid because of the Black Stone, so there is no other way. If he completes seven laps from the Black Stone, there is no harm, and praise be to Allah. The important thing is that these people complete seven laps, and the Sunnah is to start from the Black Stone. So if he started between them, or started from the Yemeni Corner out of ignorance, it does not harm him if he completes the laps.
The questioner:
That is better. And his statement about wearing clothes.
The Shaykh:
For.
The questioner:
And his wearing their clothes means not wearing the ihram.
The Shaykh:
What is pleasing, the tawaf is valid even if he did not perform the sa'y, but if he was forgetful, he owes nothing, or if he was ignorant. If he did it intentionally, he has to feed six poor people, or fast for three days, or slaughter a sheep. He should direct the menstruation, except if he was forgetful and ignorant, in which case he owes nothing.
