(Book 20, Hadith 123) #35886
Completing Hajj with Tawaf Al-Ifada

SUMMARY: The hajj is completed when a person does the tawaf al-ifada, and it is preferable to do the tawaf of the House as the last part of their contract.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his father said, "Allah has completed the hajj of anyone who does the tawaf al-ifada. It is fitting that tawaf of the House be the last of his contract, as long as nothing prevents him, and if something prevents him, or an obstacle arises, then Allah has completed his hajj". Malik said, "I do not think that a man who does not know that the last of his contract is tawaf of the House until he has left owes anything, unless he is nearby and can return, do tawaf, and then leave having done the tawaf al-ifada".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ أَفَاضَ فَقَدْ قَضَى اللَّهُ حَجَّهُ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ حَبَسَهُ شَىْءٌ فَهُوَ حَقِيقٌ أَنْ يَكُونَ آخِرُ عَهْدِهِ الطَّوَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَإِنْ حَبَسَهُ شَىْءٌ أَوْ عَرَضَ لَهُ فَقَدْ قَضَى اللَّهُ حَجَّهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَلَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً جَهِلَ أَنْ يَكُونَ آخِرُ عَهْدِهِ الطَّوَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ حَتَّى صَدَرَ لَمْ أَرَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَرِيبًا فَيَرْجِعَ فَيَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفَ إِذَا كَانَ قَدْ أَفَاضَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive to fulfill your obligations and contracts in life .

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith explains that when a person performs the pilgrimage to Mecca, they must complete their hajj by doing a ritual called tawaf al-ifada. This ritual involves walking around the Kaaba seven times in an anti-clockwise direction. It is preferable for people to do this ritual as their last act before leaving Mecca, however if something prevents them from doing so then Allah will still consider their hajj complete. This hadith teaches us that we should strive to fulfill our obligations and contracts in life and not take them lightly or ignore them even if there are obstacles in our way.
