Is there a specific time for the tawaf of departure?

The questioner : I said, O Shaykh, when I asked you some of the questions that our brother raised and you answered us on the phone, including this last question about the stoning on the third day, which is hastened in terms of the mosque, and we had told you about it, regarding the tawaf of departure, is there a specific time that it must not exceed? What is it?

The Shaykh : What do you mean by "must not exceed"?

The questioner : I mean, do they have a week or two to perform the tawaf of departure, meaning at night after...?

The Shaykh : No, I do not think the issue of night and day is a time limit, O my Shaykh, as the brother said, a week or two.

The questioner : No, O Shaykh, but on the same day, meaning after we are free, and we go to the tawaf of departure, does it have a specific time?

The Shaykh : A specific time, meaning, for example, he stones before Maghrib, before 'Asr.

The questioner : The tawaf, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : The tawaf, excuse me, he performs the tawaf before Maghrib, before 'Asr, is that what you mean?

The questioner : Yes, before the middle of the night enters.

The Shaykh : Yes, the one who does not care can remain in his ihram, however late he is, it is permissible. But the one who wants to remove his ihram must not let the evening come upon him until he has finished the tawaf, otherwise...

The questioner : Otherwise he does not remove his ihram.

The Shaykh : His ihram has not been removed when he stoned the pillar.

The questioner : Yes, yes.

The Shaykh : So the one who wants to enjoy this partial exit, which the jurists call the lesser exit, the one who wants to enjoy it, he remains enjoying this exit, he must stone on the first day, the Day of Sacrifice, and the evening must not come upon him until he has finished the tawaf. If the evening comes upon him and he has not performed the tawaf, he must return to his ihram, he must go back and take off his clothes and put on his ihram, and whenever, after one day, two days, three days, it does not matter, as long as he has returned to his ihram, he must be free from the ihram, he hastens with the tawaf, the tawaf of departure.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, a question, O my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Did you understand, O Abu 'Abdullah?

The questioner : Yes, let us pray in a suitable place.
