A man who was unable to perform the farewell tawaf due to illness: what is required of him?

The questioner : ... .

Another questioner: Clarifying the issue, may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : ... ... .

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: Then, you speak about yourself...

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh: No, so it is obligatory for him.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh: Listen, my brother...

The questioner: Go ahead.

The Shaykh: You say he was unable to; is it true that he was unable?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh: Why? How?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh: I mean, he is sick...

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: Okay, so what is the question? He did not perform the tawaf because he was sick and unable to perform the tawaf. What is the question?

The questioner: He did not perform it... and he did not perform it.

The Shaykh: My brother, when you say "if he did not perform it," it means he is able to perform it. From the very first question, I felt that the question was not precise. And now you have complicated things for yourself by saying "if he did not perform it," which means he is able to perform it. So, are you sticking to the first statement or the second? Do you say: "He is unable to perform the tawaf"? That was your first statement. Your second statement: "If he did not perform it" means he is able. So, stick to one of the two matters: either he was able and did not perform it, or he truly was unable and therefore did not perform it. You certainly distinguish between the two matters, do you not? But here, your brother is eager to explain...

The questioner: The matter is settled: he was unable.

The Shaykh: He was unable...

The questioner: Due to his illness.

The Shaykh: Okay, what is the question? A man among the people was unable to perform the tawaf of Ifadah. What is the question? Excuse me, the farewell tawaf...

The questioner: Is anything required of him?

The Shaykh: No, nothing is required of him. This is the beginning here and this is the end here, heh heh.
