I performed Hajj in one of the years, and it was an obligatory duty. When the Hajj circumambulation was taking place amidst severe crowding, I entered these rounds between the Hajar al-Isma'il and the Ka'bah.

The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner : May Allah greet you, O honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah greet you.
The questioner : This questioner says: I performed Hajj in one of the years, and it was an obligatory duty. He says: I performed Hajj in one of the years, and it was an obligatory duty.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And when the circumambulation of the Hajj was taking place, he says: amidst the severe crowding, I entered these rounds between the Hajar al-Isma'il and the Ka'bah. ... So, is there anything required of me? And may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Okay, what is this circumambulation in which he entered between the stone and the Ka'bah?
The questioner : He indicated that it was the circumambulation of Hajj.
The Shaykh : The circumambulation of Ifadah, you mean?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : This is the problem. It means that the man has now only performed the first release from the state of Ihram. He must go to Makkah to perform the circumambulation of Ifadah. Then, if he wishes, he enters the state of Ihram from the Miqat for 'Umrah, performs the circumambulation and the Sa'y, and shortens his hair, and then performs the circumambulation of Ifadah for his previous Hajj. Or, if he wishes, he performs only the circumambulation of Ifadah and returns. Then, we advise our brothers the pilgrims and others to remain for this period without asking. Some people may make an excuse and say: It did not occur to me that I made a mistake, but after I heard from people, I realized the error. So we say: May Allah help these people and the scholars as well, because this causes problems for the scholars. Therefore, if you ask two or three scholars, you will find disagreement among them on this. Then, the questioner says: Hajar al-Isma'il, and this is wrong. The stone here is not Hajar al-Isma'il. And Isma'il was not aware of it and was not buried with it. This stone, when Quraysh demolished the Ka'bah and wanted to rebuild it, the funds were insufficient for them. So they wanted to exclude part of the Ka'bah from the construction and saw that the northern side was preferable, because it does not contain the Black Stone. So they demolished it and removed from it about six and a half cubits. As for Isma'il, he had no knowledge of it and was not buried with it. And it is not possible for him to be buried with it, as it is the House of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), which Muslims from all corners of the world face, so that their Qiblah would be the grave of a human being. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you. Convey this to the man: let him go to Makkah now and do what is obligatory.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner : This female questioner says: She tells her children: I have vowed that you should not do such and such, so they do it, and she ... did not specify her vow, ... ?
The Shaykh : First: We forbid making vows, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them and said: So much so that some scholars have forbidden vows, because a person obligates himself to what is not obligatory for him.
Second: Regarding the woman's case, she owes the expiation for an oath, because this vow has the ruling of an oath. So she feeds ten poor people, or clothes them, or frees a slave. If she cannot find the means to do so, she fasts for three consecutive days.
