Due to severe illness, she could not perform Tawaf-ul-Ifadah and Tawaf-ul-Wada`

Q: I assumed Ihram with my mother from the Miqat (site for entering the ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah) of Al-Sa`diyyah with intention of offering Hajj (Part No. 10; Page No. 218) and `Umrah as Qiran Hajj (combining Hajj and `Umrah without a break in between) in 1413 A.H. We made Tawaf-ul-Qudum (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on arrival in Makkah) and Sa`y (going between Safa and Marwah during Hajj and `Umrah) and went to Mina where we spent the Day of Tarwiyah (8th of Dhul-Hijjah). Then, we went to `Arafah on the day of `Arafah (9th of Dhul-Hijjah): returned to Mina on the Day of Sacrifice (10th of Dhul-Hijjah) and threw Jamarat-ul-`Aqabah (the closest pebble-throwing area to Makkah). After that we slaughtered the Fidyah (ransom) and made Tahallul (removal of the ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah). However, my mother fell ill around the time of `Asr (Afternoon) Prayer of that day and kept getting worse. I threw the three Jamarat (stone pillars marking the pebble-throwing area, Jamarat-ul-`Aqabah being the closest to Makkah) on her behalf on first and second Days of Tashriq (11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah). She got worse and I was worried about her and took her from Mina directly to Jeddah on the second day of Tashriq in the evening after throwing the Jamarat. Therefore, she could not perform Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj) and Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah). Now, she is having medical checkups in Jeddah. We live in the suburbs of Al-Baha and she is getting well.What should be done regarding the Tawaf? We are waiting for your answer in order to complete the rituals of our Hajj. May Allah reward you with the best!


A: It is Wajib (obligatory) on your mother to return to Makkah to perform Tawaf-ul-Ifadah which shall suffice for Tawaf-ul-Wada` if you leave immediately after performing it. May Allah heal her from every ailment!May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
