Question:
This questioner, 'Ikashah, resides in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Khamis Mushayt, says: Your Eminence! I performed Hajj in a past year—praise be to Allah—and I performed all the rituals: the Tawaf of arrival, going to Mina, Muzdalifah, and 'Arafah, then going to the Jamarat, and I performed the Tawaf of Farewell. My intention was for the Hajj to be Ifrad, but I did not perform the Tawaf of Ifrafah out of ignorance. I only learned of this after I returned to my place of work. What is required of me?
Answer:
You are required to return and perform the Tawaf of Ifrafah. Praise be to Allah, you must return and perform the Tawaf of Ifrafah, even if it is after a long time. If you had intercourse with your wife, you must sacrifice an animal in Mecca for the poor because of the intercourse. If you did not have intercourse, if you do not have a wife, or if you did not have intercourse, then nothing is required of you, praise be to Allah. You simply return and perform seven circuits with the intention of the Tawaf of Hajj, praise be to Allah, and you pray two rak'ahs after the Tawaf. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, Your Eminence! Is there any guidance for those who are lax in these rituals, who do not ask the scholars, and who do not seek knowledge of the religion, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh: Yes, it is obligatory for the believer to seek knowledge of his religion and to be discerning. When he performs Hajj or 'Umrah, he should ask the scholars so that he performs 'Umrah in its proper manner and Hajj in its proper manner. Allah the Exalted says: [Surah al-Nahl: 43]. It is narrated from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Sunan al-Bayhaqi 1:995. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 1037a. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 2699a.
So it is obligatory for the believing man and woman to ask, whether by telephone or by correspondence, so that they may benefit. Among the blessings of Allah upon the Muslims now is the existence of this program, "Light on the Path." The Quran Radio contains great knowledge. For the believing man and woman to listen to the Quran Radio, and to listen to "Light on the Path," and to the scholars' lectures on the Quran Radio, and the great good that occurs therein, this is great knowledge.
So I advise all listeners to listen to the Quran Radio, and to listen to "Light on the Path," and to listen to the benefits in the Quran Radio from the lectures, the good words, and the recitation of the Quran. In this is great knowledge.
In any case, it is obligatory for the man and the woman to ask. It is obligatory for every person to ask about what is unclear to him in his prayer, in his fasting, in his Hajj, in his 'Umrah, in the affairs of his home with his family, in his buying and selling, and in other matters. Yes.

So ask the people of the message if you do not know.
فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لا تَعْلَمُونَDid they not ask when they did not know? The cure for ignorance is asking.
ألا سألوا إذ لم يعلموا إنما شفاء العي السؤالHe upon whom Allah intends to bestow goodness, He confers upon him an insight in religion
من يرد الله به خيرًا؛ يفقهه في الدينhe who treads the path in search of knowledge, Allah would make that path easy, leading to Paradise for him
من سلك طريقًا يلتمس فيه علمًا؛ سهل الله له به طريقًا إلى الجنةSo it is obligatory for the believing man and woman to ask, whether by telephone or by correspondence, so that they may benefit.
