Q 1: A person
intended to perform Hajj and he has already performed it, but once he arrived at Al-Masha`ar (Sacred site of Hajj ) in
Mina,
he found a large crowd so he did not throw the pebbles because of it
and waited until the next day but he was unable to throw the pebbles, so he came back home without completing his Hajj. Is there any sin on him? He died without performing Hajj again, what should his son do?
A:
If what he neglected of the rituals of Hajj was only throwing the pebbles on the days of (Part No. 10; Page No. 315) Tashriq (11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah) and Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah), then his son has to offer two Fidyahs (ransom) on his behalf to be slaughtered in
Makkah and distributed among the poor of Al-Haram (all areas within the Sacred Sanctuary of Makkah); one of them as a Fidyah for throwing the pebbles and the second for Tawaf-ul-Wada`. The value of these Fidyahs should be taken from his inheritance. If any of his relatives or any charitable person donates the value, this will also be rewardable and accepted In sha’a-Allah (if Allah wills).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
