I got severely ill that I could not carry out Tawaf-ul-Ifadah and Tawaf-ul-Wada`

Q: I intended to perform Hajj as a Mufrad (pilgrim performing Hajj only) saying: Allahumma labbayka Hajj (O Allah! In response to Your Call I perform Hajj. If anything prevents me, I will keep still as I am) I carried out all the rituals of Hajj including staying in `Arafah and throwing the pebbles (at the pebble-throwing area during Hajj). I had to leave on the 15th of Dhul-Hijjah to Egypt, but I got severely ill that I could not carry out Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj) and Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah). What is the ruling in this case, May Allah reward you with the best!

A: You have to return to Makkah and perform Tawaf-ul-Ifadah which is one of the main pillars of Hajj without which Hajj is not complete. Moreover, if you had sex with your wife during this period, you have to offer a Fidyah (ransom) in Makkah, you must slaughter a sheep that meets the same conditions for Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) and distribute its meat among the poor in Makkah. You should not eat of its meat. If you traveled immediately after Tawaf-ul-Ifadah , it will suffice to make up for Tawaf-ul-Wada`. If you stayed in Makkah after Tawaf-ul-Ifadah, then you would have also to carry out Tawaf-ul-Wada` at the time of your departure.May Allah grant us success. May Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his Companions!
