Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

I performed the tawaf al widah and stayed in minah to perform the stone throwing on 3 rd day and then left the mecca. Is my HAJJ is OK or I have to give "DUM" for being in mecca after the tawaf al widah and performed the HAJJ manasik.

Answer:

 

Jamaraat after tawaf wida

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Abdullah Ibn Abbas (r.a.) reported that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: "Let none of you leave Makkah berore making a Tawaf around the Ka'bah (‘Tawaf-ul-Wida) as the last of the Hajj rites."

Related by Muslim and Abu Dawood.

 

Malik has related in Al-Muwatta that Hadrat Umar ibn Al-Khattab (r.a.) said, "The last rite of Hajj is the Tawaf around the Kaabah (Tawaf-ul-Wida)."

 

To observe and fulfill the ‘Tawaf-ul-Wida’ as the last rite of Hajj is considered one amongst the obligatory rites of Hajj. 

 

If you performed the ‘Tawaf-ul-Wida’ with the intention to leave Makkah, and on your way out of Makkah went to Muna and stoned the ‘Jamaraat’, and then left immediately for your final destination….the absolute majority of the scholars and jurists in Islam are of the opinion that although not preferred, there is no harm and there is no sacrifice of atonement or ‘damm’ due from you. 

 

But if you performed the ‘Tawaf-ul-Wida’ first, then went to stone the ‘Jamaraat’ in Muna….but rather than leaving for your final destination immediately, you halted or stayed over-night in MUna….then indeed a sacrifice of atonement or ‘damm’ would be due from you.  And Allah Alone Knows Best.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
