Is it permissible to delay the tawaf of Hajj until after the tenth day out of fear of the crowds?

Question : Is it permissible to delay the Tawaf of Hajj from the tenth day to the eleventh or twelfth day if one fears the crowding?

Answer : Yes, it is permissible to delay the Tawaf of Hajj from the day of Eid to the eleventh, the twelfth, the fifteenth, the twentieth, and the twenty-fifth of Dhu al-Hijjah, until the last day of Dhu al-Hijjah. However, you remain in the state of your remaining ihram; that is, you do not exit the state of ihram completely until you have performed the Tawaf and the Sa'y. This opinion I mentioned, that it is permissible until the end of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, is a middle position between those who say that one is not allowed to delay it beyond the days of Tashreeq, and those who say that one may delay it indefinitely. The correct view is that one is allowed to delay it until the last day of Dhu al-Hijjah. And if there is an excuse, such as if a woman gave birth on the day of Eid before performing the Tawaf of Ifadah, and she did not become pure until after the month of Dhu al-Hijjah had passed, then she performs the Tawaf whenever she becomes pure.
