What is the ruling on one who misses more than one of the obligatory acts of Hajj; is one expiatory sacrifice (hady) due from him, or more?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If someone neglects more than one obligatory act during Hajj, a fidyah (expiatory sacrifice) is required for each neglected obligation. Staying overnight in Mina and stoning the Jamarat during the Days of Tashreeq are each considered a single obligatory act. Whoever intentionally neglects an obligation while knowing the ruling is sinful, but their Hajj is valid, and they must repent. Whoever neglects it out of ignorance or forgetfulness, their Hajj is valid, and there is no sin upon them. The fidyah is obligatory in both cases, which is the sacrifice of a sheep to be distributed among the poor of the Haram. Whoever cannot afford it must fast for ten days.
