The Ruling on the Farewell Tawaf and Stoning on Behalf of the Incapable
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : A group of people performed four circuits of tawaf on the day of Eid, then they left due to the severe crowd. They were old, and they were old, hmm? How is it? I am older than them, due to the severe crowd and their old age, meaning, their age. On the thirteenth day, they performed tawaf and intended with it the departure and the farewell. Then after that, the father went and stoned the pillars on their behalf, then he returned to perform the farewell tawaf himself. When he finished his tawaf, he and his family went out to al-Aziziyah and spent the night there due to the severe fatigue that overtook them. Do they owe anything? Okay, did they stone the pillars on their behalf because of their incapacity, or what? Hmm? Why?
Answer : In any case, the farewell tawaf did not benefit them because they stayed in Makkah, so each of them owes a sacrificial animal (dam) for the farewell tawaf. As for the stoning, if he stoned on their behalf because of their incapacity, then the stoning is sufficient. Otherwise, it is obligatory for the one who stoned on their behalf to pay a fidyah (ransom payment) in Makkah, to be distributed to the poor. The entire fidyah for the obligatory act is to be in Makkah.
