After performing the obligatory Hajj a long time ago, we discovered that we had not performed the Tawaf al-Ifadah, and our Hajj was Qiran. What should we do?

Question:
You say that you performed the obligatory Hajj a long time ago, and a guide was with you, but unfortunately he did not do his job as it should be, for after a period of time we discovered that we had not performed the Tawaf al-Ifadah, and our Hajj was Qiran. We ask that you guide us now on what we should do, especially since I performed Hajj with my husband. May Allah reward you with good. If you did not perform the Tawaf...

Answer:
...al-Ifadah, which is the Tawaf that takes place after standing at 'Arafah, meaning you did not perform the Tawaf al-Ifadah on the Day of 'Id or in the days following it. Since the Tawaf al-Ifadah is a pillar of Hajj and the Hajj is not complete without it, you must return to Makkah and perform the Tawaf al-Ifadah, even if a long time has passed, because your Hajj is not valid except by doing so. The Tawaf al-Ifadah is not waived from you, even if the time has passed. So you return to Makkah and perform the Tawaf al-Ifadah. If intercourse occurred during this period, then the one who did so owes a fidyah, which is slaughtering a sheep in Makkah that is acceptable as an 'Id sacrifice, and distributing it to the poor of the Haram, and they should not eat any of it. Yes.
