With staying in Mina for one hour
The first question of Fatwa no. 8441 We performed Hajj last year. On the twelfth day of the religious rites and after noon we left Mina heading for Al-Bayt-ul-Haram (the Sacred House, another name for the Ka`bah) to perform Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah) and then to depart Makkah. We made the Tawaf before `Asr (Afternoon) Prayer and after performing `Asr Prayer we left. However, due to the crowds of pilgrims we could not make our way to the car until after `Isha (Night) Prayer, as we parked it outside Makkah. We took the car and walked for more than fifteen kilometers and slept in it until we woke up in the morning and went on our way.Are we now obliged to repeat Tawaf-ul-Wada`? If so, is there anything wrong with what we did? As for one who sleeps before reaching the Miqat (sites for entering the ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah for Hajj and `Umrah), must he repeat Tawaf-ul-Wada`? Kindly give us your Fatwa, may Allah reward you.
A: There is nothing wrong with your having spent the night outside Makkah, God willing. Thus, you are not required to repeat Tawaf-ul-Wada`.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
As for one who sleep...
