The ruling on one who stands outside of 'Arafah out of ignorance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, what is the ruling on one who did not stand on the Day of 'Arafah at 'Arafah, where he stood outside of 'Arafah thinking that he had stood at 'Arafah, and that was out of his ignorance? Is his Hajj valid?
Answer:
If he continued, his Hajj is valid. If he entered it at night, when he was alerted, and he entered at night, that suffices. But if he stood outside of it and continued, and never entered, neither at night nor during the day, his Hajj does not suffice; he has missed his Hajj. He exits the state of ihram by performing 'Umrah: he circumambulates, walks between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and shortens his hair. It becomes an 'Umrah. He has a sin in the future for missing the Hajj. He slaughters the sacrifice this year, and does not slaughter the sacrifice next year, if he is not making up this missed Hajj. Yes.
The presenter:
I ask Allah for you.
