The Ruling on Intercourse Before the Tawaf of Departure

Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I asked one of the brothers, and he is one of those who study Islamic jurisprudence, about a man who had intercourse with his wife before the Tawaf of Departure. He answered me that he must enter the state of ihram, perform the tawaf, and offer the sacrifice, and that he owes nothing else. Is this correct, O Shaykh?

Answer:
Yes, intercourse after the first exit from ihram in Hajj. It does not invalidate the Hajj, but it makes the fidyah (ransom payment) obligatory. It obligates him to pay the fidyah, which is slaughtering a sheep in Makkah and distributing it to the poor of the Haram. His Hajj is valid. So if he has intercourse before the tawaf of ifadah, nothing remains of his Hajj except the tawaf of ifadah. If he has intercourse, he is in error, but his Hajj is valid. He has committed a prohibited act among the prohibitions of ihram, so he has to slaughter a fidyah and distribute it to the poor of the Haram. If he does not find one, he fasts for ten days. Yes.
