Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who did not complete the farewell tawaf and returned to his home due to a health issue that befall him?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if he traveled a distance of qasr or more, then he must pay a fidyah in place of the farewell tawaf. Did he leave the farewell tawaf or the ifadah?
The questioner:
The farewell tawaf.
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is obligatory for him to pay a fidyah (ransom payment) if he has traveled the distance that permits shortening the prayer. If he has not traveled that distance, he is required to return and perform the farewell tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), based on the hadith that they were commanded to make the House their last visit, except that this was made easier for the menstruating woman. Yes.
