The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this sister says that she fears the crowds, especially during the days of Hajj and the peak of the pilgrims. So she makes it so that for the Farewell Tawaf and the Tawaf of Ifadah, she goes to Jeddah, sits there, and returns when the crowds thin out to complete what remains of this rite.
The Shaykh:
Yes, if she needs to go to Jeddah before performing the Tawaf of Ifadah, she goes, then descends to Makkah and performs the Tawaf of Ifadah. If that is the last one and she travels after it, it serves as a substitute for the Farewell Tawaf. If she delays after the Tawaf of Ifadah in Makkah, she must perform the Farewell Tawaf when she departs. Yes.
The questioner:
And if that is after the stoning of the pillars, Honorable Shaykh, on the twelfth and thirteenth days?
The Shaykh:
Meaning, if she leaves Mina.
The questioner:
Yes, yes.
The Shaykh:
The other one, the first one, hastened on two days.
The questioner:
Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
And she needed to go to Jeddah? Yes.
The questioner:
Yes, may Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh:
But as we mentioned, she goes, but on the condition that she returns and completes her Hajj. Yes.
