The ruling on delaying the tawaf of departure due to illness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner sent this question in your name, saying: Your Eminence, Shaykh, I performed Hajj last year, but I left the tawaf of departure along with the farewell tawaf because of an illness that struck me, and I was transferred to the hospital afterward, and I suffered until Hajj ended.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. The tawaf of departure is delayed until you are able to perform it after Hajj. When you are able to perform it, you must perform it, because it is a pillar of Hajj that is necessary. If walking is difficult for you, you may be carried in a cart or something similar, but the tawaf of departure is necessary. It is a pillar of Hajj. And if the tawaf of departure is the last thing before departure, it suffices for the farewell tawaf. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
