Leaving off the tawaf of Ifadhah and the farewell tawaf due to the crowd

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh Salih, may Allah keep you safe. Last year, after... he says: I delayed the Tawaf of Ifadah to combine it with the Tawaf of Farewell. When I entered the Haram, I found it very crowded, so I did not perform the Tawaf of Ifadah nor the Tawaf of Farewell, and I returned to my country. What is required of me now?

The Shaykh:
Your Hajj is not complete until you return and perform the Tawaf of Ifadah; because it is one of the pillars of Hajj. So return, hasten to return to Makkah, and perform the Tawaf with the intention of the Tawaf of Ifadah. Then, after that, return to your country, and this will suffice for the Tawaf of Farewell. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what is your advice to those who rush through...

The Shaykh:
If you delayed in Makkah after the Tawaf of Ifadah, then if you want to travel, you perform the Tawaf of Farewell. Yes.

The questioner:
Those who rush through this ritual, Honorable Shaykh, and do not ask the scholars and Shaykhs about these rulings, then they fall into them and ask afterwards,

The Shaykh:
This is one of the wonders and one of Satan’s deceptions with man. He comes from his country, and it may be a far country, and he spends his expenses, bearing hardships in order to perform Hajj or 'Umrah, then he neglects and does not complete it. Allah the Exalted and Majestic said:
And complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allahوَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
Completion is necessary. From completion: if you entered the state of ihram for both, you must complete both to perform their rituals, and they must be pure for Allah the Mighty and Majestic. A person should not rush; haste takes him and he does not complete his Hajj or 'Umrah. And if he finds a crowd, praise be to Allah, he waits, he waits until the crowd disperses. The crowd does not last. He waits until the crowd disperses, then he performs the Tawaf and the Sa'y. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you,
