What is the ruling on one who intentionally leaves an obligatory act of Hajj and compensates for it with blood?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. He left one of the obligatory acts of Hajj and relied on the blood [sacrifice]... Does he commit a sin, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : No, I mean, do you mean he left it intentionally and performed the expiation?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : He commits a sin, there is no doubt about it. In fact, I myself am in doubt whether he is absolved or not by this expiation, because he legislated for himself what Allah has not legislated. Allah the Exalted did not make it a choice for him between performing the obligatory act and paying the expiation. Do you understand?
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, yes?
The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Regarding the lines that exist in the mosques, does this restrict... and I mean, can the rows be established... something else... and it is the practice of looking at [the person next to one].
The Shaykh : What? The practice of what?
The questioner : The practice of looking at [the person next to one].
The Shaykh : Looking down?
The questioner : Looking at [the person next to one].
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : Looking at [the person next to one].
The Shaykh : Looking at [the person next to one]?
The questioner : Yes, I mean, the follower relies on the line and does not look at the person next to him.
The Shaykh : How does he not look at his side? That is what we lack if they are not tightly packed. But if they are tightly packed, and even with the lines... the person next to him tells him to move forward or back. But as for the issue of prayer, that is not applicable, I mean... yes.
The questioner : If he is able to leave the mosque
The Shaykh : If
The questioner : If he is able to leave the mosque, is it obligatory for him to leave, or does he spit on his clothes?
The Shaykh: Why doesn't he spit on his clothes?
The questioner : He might find it disgusting...
The Shaykh : No, my brother, if he rubs it once, it is gone.
The questioner : Or perhaps some of it might fly off...
The Shaykh : Yes? What?
The questioner : Perhaps some of its parts might fly off.
The Shaykh : Perhaps what?
The questioner : Some of its parts might fly off if he spits.
The Shaykh : No, no, if he brings the cloth close, it does not fly off... unless it is... yes, come, Mahmoud?
The Shaykh : No, I mean, do you mean he left it intentionally and performed the expiation?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : He commits a sin, there is no doubt about it.
