Question:
May Allah reward you with good. He also says: In the morning of the same day, Honorable Shaykh, I performed the tawaf of ifadah, and then I went to throw the pebbles at the large Jamarat al-Aqabah for myself and for my wife, as I had left her in Makkah and threw on her behalf due to the intense heat and severe crowding. I returned to Makkah after the afternoon, approximately, and I was exhausted from the heat. I wanted to perform the farewell tawaf, my wife and I, but I was unable to do so until after the 'Asr prayer. After the 'Asr prayer, I carried my daughter and took my wife so that we could perform the farewell tawaf. During the third lap, my wife fell to the ground, and due to the severe crowding, the pilgrims nearly trampled us with their feet, had it not been that Allah granted us life. Some pilgrims pulled us out of that situation to outside the courtyard, and we did not complete the remaining four laps. I ask of your honor, what is obligatory for me now? Do I repeat that Hajj, or do you advise me of something else? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is obligatory for you to pay a fidyah (ransom payment) in place of the farewell tawaf, because you did not complete it and you traveled, as appears from your question, and you did not complete it. Your Hajj is valid, if Allah wills, but it is lacking the farewell tawaf, and this is compensated by the fidyah, by slaughtering a fidyah for you and a fidyah for her in Makkah, and distributing them to the poor of the Haram. If you are unable to pay the fidyah financially, then each of you should fast ten days. You must fast ten days, and she must also fast ten days in place of the fidyah that became obligatory due to leaving the farewell tawaf. Yes.
