The questioner : He says:The questioner : Your Eminence, regarding what is happening now concerning...
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : What is happening now regarding the organization of the pilgrims' movement, where the pilgrim is prevented from returning to Makkah, how should one who owes the Tawaf of Ifadah proceed?
The Shaykh : Yes. If one who owes the Tawaf of Ifadah cannot enter Makkah in the state of Ihram for 'Umrah, he enters in his regular clothes. He enters in his regular clothes because the first state of release has already occurred for him; he has stoned the pillars and shaved his head, so he has achieved the first release. If it is easy for him to perform an 'Umrah before the Tawaf of Ifadah, that is better. If it is not easy, he enters Makkah in his regular clothes without Ihram, then performs the Tawaf of Ifadah and the Sa'y if he has not yet performed the Sa'y.
The questioner : The same institutions, the Tawaf institutions, prevent the pilgrim from going to...
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : They prevent the pilgrim from going to Makkah. What does he do?
The Shaykh : He must return and file a complaint with the court. Yes.
The questioner : We returned from 'Arafah a little late and came to Muzdalifah. Then we came to the beginning of Muzdalifah, prayed Maghrib and 'Isha, collected the pebbles, and hurried a bit. We got in the car on the assumption that it would stop us, of course... during the sleep, we found that the sun had set and we were still in Muzdalifah.
The Shaykh : The sunrise.
The questioner : We were still in Muzdalifah.
The Shaykh : After the Fajr prayer.
The questioner : After the Fajr prayer, we did not stay... our stay was only as long as we prayed Maghrib and 'Isha, collected some pebbles, and hurried.
The Shaykh : Outside Muzdalifah.
The questioner : At the beginning of Muzdalifah.
The Shaykh : At the beginning of it, there is no harm, as long as you stayed at the beginning of it before Fajr.
The questioner : We did not stay in it for a long time, just a little, a short time.
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
