Concerning the sacrifice that should be offered by a person who did not perform some of the obligations of Hajj

Q 1: We performed Hajj in the year 1412 A.H. We threw the pebbles on the Day of Nahr (Sacrifice, 10th of Dhul-Hijjah, when pilgrims slaughter their sacrificial animals) and then took off the clothes of Ihram (clothing worn during the ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah) after performing Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah). We spent the evening and night of the tenth day of Dhul-Hijjah in Mina and threw the pebbles for the second day after the sun had passed the meridian. Then, we deputized someone to throw the pebbles on our behalf for the third day. We later performed Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah) in the afternoon and left Makkah after midnight. What is the ruling on what we did? Do we take the legal ruling of a person who hastens to leave in two days? A: You made three mistakes and did not complete the obligatory rites of Hajj, as you left the duties that are required for Hajj. First, you did not spend the night in Mina during the night of the twelfth day; second, you deputized others to throw the pebbles on your behalf during the twelfth day, while it is impermissible for you to do so when you are physically able to throw the pebbles. Therefore, each one of you should (Part No. 10; Page No. 282

A: You made three mistakes and did not complete the obligatory rites of Hajj, as you left the duties that are required for Hajj.

Therefore, each one of you should (Part No. 10; Page No. 282) offer three Fidyahs (ransoms) by slaughtering three sacrificial sheep that meet the same conditions for Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) in Makkah and the meat should be distributed among the poor in Makkah. It is not permissible for you to eat of any of this meat. The first sacrificial animal is to compensate for failing to stay the night in Mina in the night of the twelfth day. The second Fidyah is for failing to throw the pebbles by yourselves while you were physically able to do so. The third is for your performance of Tawaf-ul-Wada` before its due time, which is unacceptable.May Allah grant us success. May Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his Companions.
