Having Sex with Women after the Tawaful-Ifadhah
Question :
If the person who performs Hajj makes Tawaful-Ifadhah, is it permissible for him to have sex with women during the period of the days of At-Tashreeq?
Answer:
If the person who performs Hajj makes Tawaful-Ifadhah, it is not permissible for him to have sex with women unless he has completed the other matters, like stoning the pillar (of Al-Aqabah), and shaving his head or cutting his hair. Upon completing these things it is allowed for him to have sex with women, and if he hasn't completed them, then it is not allowed.
The Tawaf alone is not sufficient. Rather, the person must stone the pillar on the day of the 'Eid, and he must shave his head or cut his hair. He must also perform the Tawaf and the Sa'y if he is required to perform the Sa'y. With this it is permissible for him to touch women (sexually). Without the performance of these things, it is not allowed. However, if the person does two of the three things, such as stoning, and shaving or cutting the hair, it is permissible for him to wear ordinary clothes and perfume and so forth, other than having sex. The same applies if he stoned the pillar and performed the Tawaf, or he stoned the pillar and shaved his head. In such a case it is permissible for him to use perfume, wear seamed garments, and likewise hunt game animals, cut the nails and similar things. However, it is not permissible for him to have sex with women unless all three things have been performed. This is by him stoning the pillar of Al-'Aqabah, shaving his head or cutting his hair short, and performing the Taraful-Ifadhah along with Sa'y if he is required to perform Sa'y, like the Mutamatti'. After all of this it is permissible for him to have sex with women. And Allâh knows best.
