Ruling on traveling before the completion of Hajj and appointing another to perform the remaining rites
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
May Allah reward you with good. What is your opinion, O Shaykh, regarding some pilgrims who appoint others to perform the remaining rites that are carried out in Mina and then travel?
Answer: This is an error. He has no right to travel until he completes his Hajj, and he has no right to appoint another except for a valid legal excuse. If he appoints another for a valid legal excuse, it is obligatory for him to wait until the agent finishes performing what is required of him, such as the stoning.
So the conclusion is: A person traveling before he finishes his Hajj is a prohibited matter that is not permissible. Rather, he must be patient until his Hajj is completed, even if he appoints someone for some things. For example, if he is unable to perform the stoning, he appoints someone to stone on his behalf, but he does not travel until the entire stoning is completed. Then he performs the farewell tawaf, and then he travels after that. He has no right to travel before that. He says to the agent, "That is enough." No, he must be patient until the agent stones. Then, after the entire stoning is done, he performs the farewell tawaf. Yes.
The presenter: And what is the ruling for the one who did that, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh: This requires detailed explanation: If he did that and he has an obligation regarding one of the pillars, it is obligatory for him to return. He must return, for example, if he traveled before performing the tawaf of ifadah, he must return until he performs the tawaf of ifadah, or performs sa'y if he has sa'y remaining. As for if it is only the farewell tawaf, he owes a sacrificial animal to be slaughtered in Makkah, and he is not required to return. Yes.
As for if it is the stoning of the pillars, this requires detailed explanation:
If the time remains and he has no excuse, it is obligatory for him to return until he stones with his own hand. That is, if he traveled to Ta'if or Jeddah and he has no excuse, he must return until he stones during the times of stoning. If the time has passed, meaning it is missed, i.e., he was not alerted or did not realize until the days of stoning had passed, then he owes a sacrificial animal to be slaughtered in Makkah for the stoning. Because the stoning is not made up; if its days have passed, its action has passed, so it is not made up. It is only performed in its time. So if the days have passed, it is dropped, and the sacrificial animal becomes obligatory in its place. A sacrificial animal is slaughtered in Makkah for the poor in place of the entire stoning.
