Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We received this question. The questioner says: Shaykh, I have performed Hajj three times as an individual (ifrad). In each of these Hajj pilgrimages, on the morning of the ninth day, I go to the Noble Makkah and perform tawaf with the intention of ifadah. What is required of me, and is my action valid?
Answer:
No, it is not valid. The tawaf of ifadah begins only after midnight on the night of the Day of Sacrifice. One performs tawaf after midnight, or one performs it during the morning (duha) of the Day of Sacrifice. That is its beginning. As for its end, there is no limit. It is a pillar of Hajj, and one’s Hajj is not complete without it. Therefore, whatever tawaf one performs before the Day of Sacrifice is not valid. Yes.
