The Ruling on Exceeding the Number of Stones in the Stoning of the Pillars, and Entering the State of Ihram for Both Hajj and 'Umrah but Performing Only Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A letter was received for the program from one of the female listeners, (N. B.) from Jeddah. Our sister has a collection of questions, approximately fifteen in number. In one of her questions, she says: I performed the obligatory Hajj in the year 1409, but when I was stoning the pillars, I sometimes threw more than seven stones. At that time, I did not know that this was not permissible. Also, when I verbalized the intention for Hajj, I said: "I intend to perform 'Umrah and Hajj," based on what the group we were with told us. However, when we went for Hajj, we went directly to Mina, not to Makkah. Is my Hajj valid in both cases? If not, what is obligatory for me to do? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Your Hajj is valid if you performed the acts of Hajj, and you were combining Hajj and 'Umrah. If you performed the circumambulation and the walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah and completed the acts of Hajj, then you were combining Hajj and 'Umrah, and your Hajj is valid.
Exceeding the number in the stoning of the pillars does not cause harm. Exceeding the seven stones does not cause harm, but it is not prescribed, and it is not recommended, except if it is for the sake of precaution. If one doubts about the seven, whether he completed them, he adds an eighth, or a ninth, until he believes he has completed them. If he fears that some of them did not fall into the basin, he adds an eighth or a ninth to be cautious; this is what is obligatory for him. As for exceeding without a reason, it is not recommended. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. What about her Hajj, Your Eminence?
The Shaykh: Her Hajj is valid, as mentioned earlier. Her Hajj is valid, and the excess does not harm her. Exceeding the seven does not harm her, but if it was without a reason, she did something that is not prescribed. It does not harm her in her religion or in her Hajj. Yes.
The presenter: Praise be to Allah. And her saying: "I intended Hajj and 'Umrah," while she only performed Hajj?
The Shaykh: The acts of Hajj encompass the 'Umrah. She becomes one who combines them. She is one who combines them, and their acts are the same. Yes.
The presenter: Praise be to Allah, may Allah reward you with good.
