The questioner : The honorable Shaykh says: I performed Hajj in a group, and there was a woman with me. The group departed from Muzdalifah after midnight, and we went to the Haram, and we began the tawaf before the Fajr prayer. Is this correct?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is correct. But the best, the best for able men, is to delay until they pray Fajr and stand for a while until it becomes very bright. Then they proceed to Mina. This is the best. But if a person proceeds in the last part of the night and performs tawaf and sa'y before Fajr, there is no harm. Or if he proceeds in the last part of the night, performs the stoning and shaves his head, then descends and performs tawaf and sa'y before Fajr, there is no harm.
The questioner : He says there was a woman with him?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : He says there was a woman with him?
The Shaykh : Yes. And if there was a woman with him, his excuse is stronger than if he had been alone. Yes.
