What is the ruling on a pilgrim having intercourse with his wife before stoning the pillars?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, is there any new development regarding the ruling on one who has intercourse with his wife before stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah?
The Shaykh : No, I have not heard of any new development.
The questioner : So, can the invalidators of Hajj be limited to two things: the first is leaving one of the pillars of Hajj, and the second is the occurrence of intercourse before stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah, if that is correct?
The Shaykh : The first is a known matter. As for the second, we do not have a formed opinion to adopt; because the well-known opinion is that this invalidates Hajj. However, some opinions say there is no evidence for invalidation. The issue is delicate and sensitive, and it requires serious and extensive research to know the basis of those who said that intercourse invalidates Hajj, and to determine the invalidation at a specific time rather than another. I have not yet had the time to devote myself to such a matter.
The questioner : So, can the invalidators of Hajj be limited to leaving its pillars?
The Shaykh : This question is not applicable. This is said if we adopt the view that intercourse does not invalidate [Hajj].
Al-Halabi : In general, is that his question, O Shaykh?
The questioner : I mean, if it is correct that it invalidates, then by the two: by leaving the pillar and by intercourse?
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : Shaykh, is it permissible to go to 'Arafah in one trip to relieve the hardship? Because about a million people or more depart and go to Mina, and then to 'Arafah and Muzdalifah, and there is congestion and the roads are blocked on the eighth of Dhu al-Hijjah when going to Mina. The police stop and prevent people from staying overnight in Mina, meaning on the Day of Tarwiyah they prevent people from remaining in Mina except for very few. So, is it permissible to follow them by going directly to 'Arafah?
The Shaykh : No, I have not heard of any new development.
