What are the pillars of Hajj, and what is the ruling on a pilgrim’s negligence in any of them?

The questioner : What are the pillars of Hajj? And does he owe anything if he forgets any of them?

The Shaykh : Yes. The pillars of Hajj, according to what the jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) said, are four: entering the state of ihram, standing at 'Arafah, tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), and sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah). There is disagreement regarding sa'y: whether it is a pillar, an obligatory act, or a recommended practice.
These are the pillars of Hajj, and they differ in their implications. Entering the state of ihram, which is the intention to enter the rites of worship, if it is absent, then there is no worship at all. However, it is unlikely that one would lack the intention of the rites, because everyone who comes, performs ghusl (the full ritual bath), wears the ihram garments, and recites the talbiyah (the pilgrim's chant of response) must have intended the rites. As for standing, if a person misses standing at 'Arafah, he has missed the Hajj. That is, if he did not reach 'Arafah until after the dawn of the Day of Sacrifice, he has missed the Hajj. What does he do? He exits the state of ihram by performing 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage). That means he goes down to Makkah, performs tawaf, performs sa'y, shortens his hair, and exits the state of ihram. If it is for the coming year, he must perform Hajj in place of the Hajj he missed. If it was an individual obligation, it is obligatory. If it was not an individual obligation, then if the negligence was due to his own fault, it is also obligatory. If it was not due to his fault, it is a matter of scholarly disagreement.
Remaining are tawaf and sa'y. If tawaf is missed on the Day of 'Id, it is performed on the following day, or the second, or the third day. He has until the end of the month, the month of Dhu al-Hijjah. It is not permissible to delay it beyond the month of Dhu al-Hijjah except for an excuse. Please flip the tape.
Tawaf and sa'y. If tawaf is missed on the Day of 'Id, it is performed on the following day, or the second, or the third day. He has until the end of the month, the month of Dhu al-Hijjah. It is not permissible to delay it beyond the month of Dhu al-Hijjah except for an excuse. An excuse is, for example, if a person is ill and unable to perform tawaf, or if a woman experiences post-natal bleeding before she performs the tawaf of ifadah (the tawaf of completion). She is also excused if she delays the tawaf of ifadah until after the month of Dhu al-Hijjah. Sa'y is like tawaf. We have no tears. Yes.
