Ruling on an employer preventing a worker from completing Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! A man performed Hajj and stood at 'Arafah, and he was told: Your Hajj is complete as long as you stood at 'Arafah; you do not need to complete the rites. Is his Hajj complete, or does he have to make up what is missing?
He still has the tawaf and sa'y remaining if he did not perform them with the arrival tawaf, and he still has the overnight stay at Muzdalifah, the overnight stay in Mina, the stoning of the pillars, and the farewell tawaf remaining.
The questioner: He is a worker, and his employer prevented him from performing Hajj when he was standing at 'Arafah and said to him: Your Hajj is finished now?The Shaykh: But did he not give him permission to perform Hajj? He is obligated to give him permission for the rest, and it is not permissible for him to release him from the obligation,It is not permissible for him to say to him: saying, "You are now released from your Hajj,"Even if he said that: so he has the right to refuse and refer the matter to the responsible authority.
