The Ruling on the Tawaf of Ifadah on the Day of 'Arafah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: I am a person who performed the Tawaf of Ifadah on the Day of 'Arafah, and I heard that I must return and repeat the Tawaf of Ifadah. Do I have to perform the Farewell Tawaf, even though I have already performed it?
Answer: The Tawaf of Ifadah is not performed on the Day of 'Arafah. The Tawaf of Ifadah is after descending from 'Arafah and descending from Muzdalifah, on the last night of the festival or on the day of the festival and after it. This is the time for the Tawaf of Ifadah. The one who performed tawaf on the Day of 'Arafah out of ignorance, his tawaf is invalid, and he must perform tawaf after descending from 'Arafah on the day of the festival or after it. The Tawaf of Ifadah is obligatory, and its time is after descending from Muzdalifah in the latter half of the night of Muzdalifah, and on the day of the festival and after it.
And if you have not performed tawaf, you must perform it after that. If you came to your wife before tawaf, after stoning the pillars and shaving your head, you must sacrifice an animal to be slaughtered in Makkah for the poor, along with repentance and seeking forgiveness. However, if you did not come to your wife, praise be to Allah; perform tawaf and complete your Hajj. You must also perform sa'y with the tawaf if you were a pilgrim performing Qiran or Ifrad and had not performed sa'y before 'Arafah. In that case, you must perform sa'y and tawaf for your Hajj.
As for the tawaf performed on the Day of 'Arafah, it is not valid, unless the person is coming from his country on the Day of 'Arafah and arrives in Makkah, performs tawaf and sa'y, and then leaves Makkah for 'Arafah on the Day of 'Arafah. This is called the Tawaf of Arrival. If he is performing Tamattu', it is called the Tawaf of 'Umrah; he performs tawaf and sa'y, shortens his hair, and then exits the state of ihram. This is called the Tawaf of 'Umrah. If you were performing Qiran or Ifrad, and you performed tawaf, then sa'y, and then left for 'Arafah in the late afternoon or at night, this is considered a valid tawaf, but it is called the Tawaf of Arrival, not the Tawaf of Ifadah. The Tawaf of Ifadah is only performed after Hajj, after descending from 'Arafah and Muzdalifah.
