The ruling on leaving out one of the three circumambulations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I will keep it for you, and every picture with it has tea.
The Shaykh:
No, sa'y is not a permanent prescribed act; it is prescribed in the year for Hajj, just once. As for tawaf, it is a permanent prescribed act. As for sa'y, it is once in 'Umrah and once in Hajj. Yes. And Allah.
The questioner:
From the side of the tawaf, from the three tawafs, he owes a blood sacrifice.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Whoever leaves out one of the three owes a sacrificial animal.
The Shaykh:
All of them are obligatory except the arrival circumambulation; the correct view is that it is recommended. The arrival circumambulation for the pilgrim and the one performing qiran is recommended. The evidence that it is recommended is that whoever leaves it out owes nothing. If he arrived in Makkah and went to 'Arafah without coming to Makkah, or if he intended to go to Mina on the eighth day until he finished the Hajj, he owes nothing. This is how 'A'ishah acted when she entered in a state of menstruation; she did not seek the arrival circumambulation, but postponed it until she combined the Hajj with the 'Umrah, performed the circumambulation of completion, and was content to leave out the arrival circumambulation. So, Allah knows best, that the arrival circumambulation is not an obligation, but a recommended practice if it is easy to do.
