He said: I performed Hajj some time ago, about five or six years ago. He said: The number of years is not relevant to us, but he said: Instead of performing the sunnah in the act of idhtiba', I reversed the matter and placed the end of my cloak under my left armpit and covered my right shoulder.

The questioner : He said: I performed Hajj some time ago, about five or six years ago. He said: The number of years is not relevant to us, but he said: Instead of performing the sunnah in the act of idhtiba', I reversed the matter and placed the end of my cloak under my left armpit and covered my right shoulder. So, is there anything required of me for that, such as a sacrificial animal, a fidyah, or something similar?
The Shaykh : You owe neither a sacrificial animal nor a fidyah.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If that was due to forgetfulness on your part, we hope that the full reward will be recorded for you, because you intended the act but erred in its manner.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If this was due to guessing, we hope that Allah the Exalted will forgive you and that you will not return to guessing in religion, but rather ask the people of knowledge so that you worship Allah with knowledge.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : You owe neither a sacrificial animal nor a fidyah.
