The Shaykh : If a person performs the farewell tawaf before the stoning on the last day, and then returns and performs the stoning, is the farewell tawaf sufficient or not? It is not sufficient; he must repeat the tawaf, because the obligation in the farewell tawaf is that it be the last thing. This is if he performs the tawaf and then returns and the last thing is the stoning, so it is not permissible to perform the farewell tawaf before he stones.
After the farewell tawaf, is it permissible to remain in Makkah? No, unless something prevents him, such as if he is struck by an illness and goes to the hospital, or if he sits waiting for his companions, or if he sits and stops at a shop to buy items for travel or gifts for his family, then there is no harm. Even if his waiting for the group is prolonged, there is no harm. For example, if he performs the farewell tawaf and goes to the house to wait for them, and one of the group is lost and they sit waiting for him, and they remain for an hour or two or more, there is no need to repeat the tawaf; the first tawaf is sufficient, because he remained in Makkah for what? For an excuse.
In Hajj there are six standings. In Hajj there are six standings: standing at 'Arafah, and at Muzdalifah, and after the first pillar on the days of Tashriq, and after the middle pillar, and on al-Safa, and on al-Marwah. Six standings. But the greatest and most important of these standings is standing at 'Arafah, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): With this, Hajj is completed.
There remains a question: Is it a necessity of Hajj, or a perfection of Hajj, for a person to visit al-Madinah? No, it is not among the obligations of Hajj, nor among the recommended practices of Hajj, and there is no connection between it and Hajj. But the scholars mention it after Hajj, because in their time it was difficult for a person to travel from his country to Makkah for Hajj and then continue the journey to al-Madinah. So they mention it so that the journey is what? One journey. Otherwise, it has no connection to Hajj.
And with this ends what we intended to mention. The rest is for questions, and we begin with the right side, and the question is one for each person.
