If anyone performs Tawaf-ul-Wada` before throwing the pebbles

Q 1: A pilgrim performed Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah) on the 12th of Dhul-Hijjah, then went to Mina to throw the pebbles at the Jamarat (stone pillars marking the pebble-throwing areas); (Part No. 10; Page No. 346) is his Tawaf valid as he circumambulated the Ka`bah before throwing the pebbles? What should this man do, bearing in mind that he is from the people of Jeddah?

A: If anyone performs Tawaf-ul-Wada` before throwing the pebbles (at the pebble-throwing areas during Hajj), this does not count, because Tawaf-ul-Wada` should be the last ritual of Hajj. The pilgrim in question traveled back before repeating Tawaf-ul-Wada` after throwing the pebbles at the Jamarat, therefore he should slaughter a sacrificial animal in Makkah and distribute its meat among the poor of the Haram (the Sacred Mosque in Makkah); he should eat nothing of its meat. The sacrificial animal should meet the same conditions of Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims). If he cannot do this, he should observe Sawm (fast) for ten days.
