The ruling on delaying the Tawaf of Ifadah until the end of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah

Question:
May Allah reward you. Our Shaykh is with us from Makkah, the brother Abdullah. Peace be upon you.

Answer:
And upon you be peace. May Allah keep you in good health. Peace be upon you. May Allah welcome you. I have two questions, may Allah keep you safe. The first question, may you live long: My wife performed Hajj this year and, of course, she did not perform the Tawaf and Sa'y. She delayed the Tawaf, meaning until two weeks before the end of Hajj. She performed it. Some people say she owes a fidyah (ransom payment), may you live long. Is this statement correct? No, it is not correct. She owes no fidyah. The Tawaf of Ifadah has no end time; rather, the beginning of the Tawaf of Ifadah is from the middle of the night of the Day of Sacrifice. As for its end, if she did not perform it until the end of the month, the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, there is nothing wrong with her. Yes.
