The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. After that: A man who is performing Hajj alone with his wife performed the arrival circumambulation and the sa'y for Hajj. In the circumambulation of Hajj, his wife was unable to complete it because she was ill; she performed one lap and was unable to finish. He also wanted her to perform the farewell circumambulation for the sake of Hajj, but she was unable to do so due to her illness. So, out of ignorance, he performed it on her behalf. He then returned to his country. What is the ruling regarding his situation?
The Shaykh : I say: The greeting of peace when offering the greeting is not from the Sunnah because you are with us. The Companions used to ask the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) without offering the greeting, except for one who arrived, in which case he would offer the greeting.
As for the question: It is well known that delegation is not valid in circumambulation and sa'y. The utmost extent to which delegation is reported is in the stoning of the pillars. What this woman must do now is return to Makkah and perform the circumambulation of ifadhah. Did she perform the sa'y or not?
The questioner : She performed the sa'y.
The Shaykh : She performed the sa'y, yes. So, she should perform the circumambulation of ifadhah. If she performs an 'Umrah before that, it is better, so that she does not enter Makkah except while in the state of ihram. If that is difficult for her, there is no blame on her if she enters Makkah, performs the circumambulation of ifadhah, and returns.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Either she intends to perform 'Umrah, in which case she enters the state of ihram from the miqat, or she does not intend to perform 'Umrah, in which case she does not enter the state of ihram because she has already exited the state of ihram with the first exit.
