What is the ruling on one who left the farewell circumambulation due to a heart condition?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : She performed the rites of Hajj except for the farewell circumambulation, considering that she suffers from a heart condition. Does she owe anything or not? Yes, if she is able, she must sacrifice an animal in Makkah and distribute it to the poor for leaving an obligatory act, because illness does not exempt one from the farewell circumambulation. This is because Umm Salimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “O Messenger of Allah, I am ill regarding the farewell circumambulation.” He said:
He told me to perform the Tawaf behind the people while riding.طوفي من وراء الناس وأنت راكبة
Sahih al-Bukhari 464
He ordered her to circumambulate on a camel. This indicates that it is not exempted by illness. As for the second question, it is not answered because one is not allowed to ask more than one question. This is Aqil al-Shamri. Aqil says that Ibn Aqil mentioned regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Your Lord is most knowing of youرَّبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ
[Al-Isra 17:54]
meaning “He knows about you.” And I said in the lesson that this is not correct. Yes, that is right. What is the problem?
