The ruling on one whose money is stolen after tawaf and sa'y
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: I came for Hajj via al-Madinah al-Munawwarah and entered the state of ihram from Abi 'Ali. After the tawaf and sa'y, all my money was stolen. Do I have to offer a fidyah (ransom payment), knowing that I have not yet cut my hair after the 'Umrah, or should I offer it in my home country?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Abi 'Ali, and after the tawaf and sa'y, all my money was stolen. I ask for a ruling, knowing that I have not yet cut my hair after the 'Umrah. Do I have to offer a fidyah (ransom payment) in my home country?
The Shaykh:
If you intended the 'Umrah, then after the tawaf and sa'y, cut some hair from your head and come out of the state of ihram. If you intended only Hajj, or Hajj and 'Umrah, the Sunnah (recommended practice) for you is likewise to cut your hair and come out of the state of ihram. You are required to provide the hady (sacrificial animal of the pilgrimage). If you are unable to do so, fast three days during the Hajj and seven days when you return to your home, and praise be to Allah. This is the Sunnah (recommended practice). If you are unable to fast the three days in Makkah, combine them with the seven and fast fourteen days in total. May Allah suffice me against the one who stole my livelihood, and may Allah compensate you with something better than what was stolen. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
