If a pilgrim is unable to perform the tawaf of ifadhah due to an illness that prevents him from doing so, and he returns to his hometown, then when he recovers he returns to Makkah for the tawaf of ifadhah

The questioner : May Allah reward the honorableThe Shaykh : If a pilgrim is unable to perform the tawaf of ifadhah due to an illness that prevents him from doing so, and he returns to his hometown, then when he recovers he returns to Makkah for the tawaf of ifadhah, should he enter Makkah in a state of ihram or enter it in a state of halal?

The Shaykh : It is preferable that he enter Makkah in a state of ihram for 'Umrah, and that he perform tawaf and sa'y and shorten his hair, and then perform the tawaf of ifadhah. If he limits himself to performing only the tawaf of ifadhah, there is nothing wrong with that.
