The Expiation for Omitting the Farewell Tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My brother performed Hajj last year, 1437, but he did not complete the farewell tawaf because of a health problem that struck him, which was fainting, so we returned to Riyadh, and that is where we are now.
Answer:
Yes, he has to pay a fidyah (ransom payment). The farewell tawaf is an obligatory part of Hajj. Whoever leaves an obligatory act has to slaughter a fidyah. He has to slaughter a fidyah in Makkah and distribute it to the poor, and that will suffice him, if Allah wills. Unless the illness struck him before the tawaf and he was unable to perform the farewell tawaf, in which case it is dropped from him. Yes.
