What is the ruling on a man who was unable to perform the farewell tawaf due to an illness or condition that afflicted him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The farewell tawaf... and whoever was unable to perform the farewell tawaf... outside the Haram.
The student : Clarifying the issue, may Allah reward you with good. I am now speaking about myself.
The Shaykh : We need to correct his question.
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Then, you speak about yourself.
The student : No, about himself. I want to speak, I am clarifying it for him.
The Shaykh : No, he must clarify it.
The student : Please, clarify more, Ahmad.
The Shaykh : Listen, my brother, you say he was unable. Is it true that he was unable?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Why?
The questioner : He was afflicted, meaning...
The Shaykh: How.
The questioner : ... meaning he was afflicted.
The student : He suffered an injury in his leg.
The Shaykh : Meaning he was 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 : If he did not perform the tawaf, he owes nothing. He goes out of the Haram, the Hajj is finished, and he did not perform the tawaf.
The Shaykh : My brother, when you say "if he did not perform the tawaf," it means he is able to perform the tawaf. I felt from the first question that the question was not precise, and now you have complicated things for yourself. When you say "if he did not perform the tawaf," it means he is able to perform the tawaf. 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 the tawaf," means he is able. So, stick to one of the two: either he was able and did not perform the tawaf, or he truly was unable and therefore did not perform the tawaf. You certainly distinguish between the two, do you not? But here, your brother is eager to explain it himself.
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 person among the people was unable to perform the tawaf of ifadah. What is the question? Excuse me, the farewell tawaf.
The questioner : Does he owe anything?
The Shaykh : No, he owes nothing. The subject is there and the predicate is here, heh heh.
The student : Clarifying the issue, may Allah reward you with good. I am now speaking about myself.
The Shaykh : We need to correct his question.
The student: Yes.
