The ruling on one who enters the state of ihram for Hajj, then has a dispute with the person in charge, and returns, abandoning the Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
O Shaykh! I performed Hajj this past year with a group, and a discussion arose between me and the group leader while I was in the state of ihram, so I returned and exited my state of ihram.
The Shaykh: Then what? The questioner: Then I returned to my country.
The Shaykh: And you abandoned the Hajj?The questioner: Yes, that is correct.
Know that you are now considered to be in the state of ihram, so you must hasten to remove your clothes, put on the clothes of ihram, and go to Makkah to perform 'Umrah: circumambulate, walk between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and shorten your hair. Then you must perform Hajj next year.
The questioner: Is that all?The Shaykh: Be patient, and you must offer a sacrificial animal; because you exited the state of ihram without an excuse. So, may Allah reward you with good, hasten now.
The questioner: I performed an 'Umrah on this basis, O Shaykh, this summer. I returned, exited my state of ihram, and wore sewn clothes, then I came this summer and performed an 'Umrah about a month ago! The Shaykh: But did you intend it for the past 'Umrah?The questioner: No.
The Shaykh: This is a matter for consideration. You must perform Hajj next year and you must offer a sacrificial animal.
The questioner: Is that all? And the family?The Shaykh: The family are like you, if they exited the state of ihram afterwards.
The questioner: No, no,My meaning is: There is nothing.
The Shaykh: There is nothing except that you were ignorant.
O my brother! I advise you and whoever hears this: if a problem occurs, ask the scholars at that time. If you had asked the scholars at that time whether it was permissible for you to exit the state of ihram merely because of a dispute with your companion, the matter would have been easy. So my advice to you and others is that if difficulties arise in worship, you should hasten to ask about them.
The questioner: I must perform an 'Umrah now.
The Shaykh: The 'Umrah is finished. If Allah wills, we hope that what happened is sufficient; but you must perform Hajj next year and offer a sacrifice.
The questioner: Very well! And there is nothing on the family?The Shaykh: You were ignorant, and if a person is ignorant, there is nothing on him.
The questioner: No,Now, in the present time! The Shaykh: No, now it is over, it is finished.
The questioner: Because I asked a person and did it.
The Shaykh: It is finished. So nothing remains on you. You must repent and not return to it, yes.
The Shaykh: Then what? The questioner: Then I returned to my country.
