Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
His EminenceThe Shaykh : A person goes to al-Sharai', outside the Haram, during the days of Tashriq to visit a relative, stays for several hours, and then returns?
The Shaykh : And he is a pilgrim?
The questioner : And he is a pilgrim.
The Shaykh : Yes, say a person who is a pilgrim.
The questioner : Yes, that is correct.
The Shaykh : Yes, he may stay.
The questioner : He stays for several hours and then returns.
The Shaykh : There is no harm in that. That is, if a pilgrim goes outside the Haram during Hajj, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if it is before the first exit from the state of ihram, he remains in his state of ihram. If it is after the first and second exits from the state of ihram, it is well known that it is permissible; he is even permitted to have intercourse with his wife. If it is between the two exits from the state of ihram, he is permitted to do everything except have intercourse with women.
