The ruling on one who performed the farewell tawaf and remained in Makkah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy.

The questioner : How are you, Shaykh Muhammad?

The Shaykh : Yes, and all praise is due to Allah.

The questioner : May Allah prolong your life.

The Shaykh : At your service.

The questioner : I have a question, Shaykh Muhammad. May Allah keep you in obedience. Yes. I performed Hajj about four or five years ago, and I completed the rituals properly, by the grace of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), praise be to Allah. But what is the issue? I performed the farewell tawaf, then went to look for a car, and it did not happen, meaning I stayed in Makkah and did not perform the tawaf again, and I was ignorant of the ruling. So what is the ruling, Shaykh Muhammad?

The Shaykh : May Allah bless you. Listen to the answer. It is obligatory for a person who performs the farewell tawaf to leave Makkah immediately. If he delays, and it is to wait for passengers, in order to be on a bus that is waiting for passengers, then there is no harm, even if he stays for an hour, two hours, or more. But if he decides to stay until morning, for example, then if he wants to travel, he must repeat the tawaf a second time. However, if he was ignorant, I hope that nothing is required of him, because he performed the tawaf with the intention of farewell and delayed out of ignorance of that, so nothing is required of him.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. I delayed out of ignorance of that, and I did not know this until recently regarding the matter.

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. Do not repeat such a thing.

The presenter : May Allah reward you a thousand times with good, Shaykh Muhammad, and may Allah benefit the Muslims through you. May Allah reward you with good.
