The ruling on one who is unable to complete the 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
An elderly man entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah, but when he reached the House, he was unable to complete the 'Umrah. What is required of him?
Answer:
It is not possible for him to be unable to complete the 'Umrah; because if he is unable to walk, he is carried during the tawaf, and he is carried during the sa'y, and he shaves or shortens his hair after the sa'y. It is possible to carry him in a cart, or on a stretcher, or if he has an active companion, the companion can carry him in his arms. So the result is that if he is unable to perform the tawaf and sa'y by himself, he is carried in them, and this is feasible. Being carried is feasible in the tawaf and sa'y. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
