Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says that he left Muzdalifah. This is a question about Hajj. He and his wife left at eleven o'clock at night, meaning before midnight. But he says, “We needed to leave because I am injured in my leg.” Does she have to pay a fidyah (ransom payment)?
Answer:
If she left for the sake of treatment, and you could not stay in Muzdalifah because your leg was hurting you and you needed treatment, and you went to the hospital, you are excused and there is nothing on you. She is also excused because she could not stay alone. But if it was not for treatment, but rather because your leg was not in good condition, that is not an excuse. Even if you left Muzdalifah, your leg is your leg, so you have to pay a fidyah for leaving before the time of departure.
