What is the ruling in Islam regarding this? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good. I performed 'Umrah, and I also remained in the Kingdom until I performed the obligatory Hajj.

The Shaykh:
If you performed 'Umrah in the months of Hajj after Ramadan, and then Allah facilitated Hajj for you, you owe a fidyah of one sacrificial animal; you are a mutamatti'. If you performed 'Umrah in Ramadan or before it, and then Allah facilitated Hajj for you as an ifrad Hajj, you do not owe a hady. This is an ifrad Hajj, and you owe nothing in it. Praise be to Allah for the facilitation.

The questioner:

The questioner:
Is there a preference in tawaf around the Ka'bah regarding the first lap and the second lap?

The Shaykh:
The closer one is to the Ka'bah, the better it is. But if one is safe from the crowd, one should stay away from the crowd so as not to harm oneself. Praise be to Allah.
