Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh, during the heavy crowds during tawaf, the prayer is established, and a woman is in front of you, or a woman is beside you, or a woman is behind you.
The Shaykh:
It does not harm, it does not harm, my son. Fear Allah, what Allah wills, these are necessities, there is nothing wrong with this. Thank you very much. Praise be to Allah. Distinguish yourself among the people. Yes. Yes. This is a question the brother asks, and it is general. If people pray during the crowds in Makkah, a woman may be on his right, or in front of him, or on his left, and it does not harm his valid prayer, because there is no way to avoid this crowd, even if a woman is beside you. It does not harm, because the crowd is a legal factor. The obligation is that they are kept behind the men, but one may be tested, and a poor woman, after she goes out, may be prevented from going out. Okay, we sat down. This questioner says. Indeed, a person must. Yes, when he has finished all the stoning, and the tawaf of ifadah, and the tawaf of every stoning, and the tawaf of farewell, and if it is the tawaf of ifadah and the tawaf at the time of departure, it suffices for the farewell.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: I performed 'Umrah in the month of Dhul-Qa'dah, then I returned to Jeddah, and after that I returned on the evening of the seventh day to perform the rites of Hajj. Do I owe a sacrifice?
The Shaykh:
And he entered the state of ihram for Hajj from Jeddah. And he entered the state of ihram for Hajj.
The presenter:
The questioner is directed to him, suddenly for Hajj, he says to you: Did you hear something?
The Shaykh:
There is no [issue] with Hajj from Jeddah. May Allah preserve you.
