The Arrival Tawaf for the Individual Pilgrim

Question:
This questioner says in his second question: Is it obligatory for me to perform the arrival tawaf if I am an individual pilgrim, and I arrived from Jeddah at two in the morning on the ninth day, and I remained in Mina until morning? What is the ruling, and what should I do if something is required of me that I have not done? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
The tawaf of ifadah and the sa'y are sufficient; it is the arrival tawaf and it is the tawaf of ifadah. However, if you had entered Makkah first, that would have been better. If you had entered Makkah on the day you came from Jeddah, performed the tawaf and sa'y, and then went out with your mahram to Mina and 'Arafah, that would have been better. In that case, the tawaf of ifadah would remain for you, and the sa'y would suffice you. But since you went directly to Mina or 'Arafah, after the 'Id, the tawaf and sa'y suffice you, and praise be to Allah. Your arrival tawaf is a tawaf that covers both matters. Yes.
