What is obligatory for the pilgrim if he stoned the pillars on the day of the festival and the day after it, then traveled and did not perform the farewell circumambulation?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The second question says: I performed the stoning of the pillars on the first day of the festival and the second day, and I departed believing that the early departure stoning is for two days, the first day of the festival and the second day. After I returned to Riyadh, one of the brothers informed me that the early departure stoning is for two days after the first day of the festival, not for one day as I did. What is obligatory for me regarding what I did, considering that I did not perform the farewell circumambulation? Is my Hajj valid in that form?
The Shaykh : Your Hajj is valid because you did not leave out any pillar of the pillars of Hajj, but you left out three obligatory acts in it. The first obligatory act is staying overnight in Mina on the night of the twelfth, the second obligatory act is stoning the pillars on the twelfth day, and the third obligatory act is the farewell circumambulation. It is obligatory for you to sacrifice a sacrificial animal for each of them, which you slaughter in Makkah and distribute to the poor, because when a person leaves out an obligatory act, I mean an obligatory act in Hajj, it becomes obligatory for him to slaughter a sacrificial animal in Makkah and distribute it to the poor. On this occasion, I would like to alert our pilgrim brothers to this error committed by our questioner brother, for many pilgrims understand, as he understood, that the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:203] means that he departed on the eleventh day, so they consider the two days to be the day of the festival and the eleventh day. The matter is not so; rather, this is an error in understanding, because Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Baqarah 2:203] and the counted days are the days of Tashreeq, and the first of the days of Tashreeq is the eleventh day. Accordingly, His saying: [Al-Baqarah 2:203] means from the days of Tashreeq, which is the twelfth day. A person should correct his concept regarding this issue so that he does not err. And success is from Allah.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

whoever hastens [his departure] in two days
فمن تعجل في يومينAnd remember Allah during [specific] numbered days. Then whoever hastens [his departure] in two days - there is no sin upon him
واذكروا الله في أيام معدودات فمن تعجل في يومين فلا إثم عليهwhoever hastens [his departure] in two days
فمن تعجل في يومينThe questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
