The questioner : May Allah reward the honorableThe Shaykh : I have a daughter who is seven months old, and I have no one to leave her with. Is it permissible for me to perform tawaf on her behalf and take her with me for Hajj and 'Umrah, or what should I do?
The Shaykh : Is the questioner a woman or a man?
The questioner : A man.
The Shaykh : If it is the wife.
The questioner : He has his wife with him.
The Shaykh : Yes, fine. You, your wife, and your child should go, but it is not obligatory to put her in the state of ihram. Let her remain in a state of non-ihram, because this will make things difficult for you and for her. Now it is time for prayer.
The questioner : May Allah reward the honorable Shaykh for these words. More than one question was asked about debt, and the brothers are referred to the previous session, as most of the questions there were about debt and the ruling on Hajj for one who has a debt. The Shaykh, may Allah guide him, also has a book on the rituals of Hajj and the errors pilgrims commit. May Allah facilitate its distribution, either this time or later, at the Da'wah Office. May Allah guide everyone to what He loves and is pleased with.
The Shaykh : It can be distributed; I have some with me.
The questioner : The Shaykh promised that he would distribute it, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : After the prayer.
The questioner : After the prayer, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon him.
The Shaykh : But may Allah reward you with good. Let everyone stay in their place during the distribution so that there is no disorder, and it will reach you, if Allah wills. Those who do not receive it can find it at the Da'wah Office. Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You. I bear witness that there is no god but You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.
