The condition of the patient who is unable to complete Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: I am confused.
Answer:
If the illness prevents him from going to Makkah, that is one matter. But if he is able to go, he waits. If he recovers, he waits and remains in his state of ihram. If he recovers and he has not yet stood at 'Arafah before the Day of 'Arafah, he stands at 'Arafah and the matter is concluded. If he has missed standing at 'Arafah, he completes his pilgrimage as an 'Umrah; he converts his ihram to an 'Umrah, because he has missed the Hajj. Whoever misses standing at 'Arafah has missed the Hajj.
