Delaying Tawaf, Sa'y, and Ihram from Jeddah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh! May Allah prolong your life. After the Islamic greeting, I came from Jeddah on the third parallel road with the Islamic Development Bank. From there, I entered the state of ihram for Hajj without performing Tawaf or Sa'y. When we came from Muzdalifah, we stoned the pillars, but I did not go to the Haram. I asked one of the students at Imam University, and he told me that it is possible to delay the Tawaf and Sa'y of Hajj until tomorrow, and to perform the lesser exit from ihram. I acted on his answer, but then I found someone who made me doubt it. So, I came to you, may Allah reward you with good. I hope you will inform me. Your brother, Muhammad Ali Sulayman.

Answer:
There is no harm. If you had entered Makkah and performed Tawaf and Sa'y, that would have been better. Then you went to Mina. As long as you intended Mina and were sincere in your Hajj, there is no blame on you. There is nothing wrong with delaying the Tawaf and Sa'y until tomorrow, or after tomorrow, or when leaving for Jeddah; there is no harm. That suffices for the farewell Tawaf. If you entered the state of ihram from Jeddah for Hajj and you are from the people of Jeddah, that is fine. But if you left Jeddah and did not enter the state of ihram until you were on the way, no, that is not allowed. You must enter the state of ihram from Jeddah, as long as you are from its people, so that your place of ihram is from there for Hajj.
