The answer

It is permissible for spouses to stipulate a condition when entering for Hajj or '. If they are able to stand at 'Arafah, even for a moment, before the dawn of the Day of Nahr, then they have attained Hajj. As for al-Ifadah and Sa'i (for those performing Tamattu' or those who did not perform Sa'i upon arrival), these are pillars that cannot be compensated for by a sacrifice (dam), and they can be delayed until the excuse is removed.

Regarding the rest of the Hajj rituals (such as spending the night in Muzdalifah, stoning the , spending the nights in Mina, and Tawaf al-Wada') these are obligations. If it is possible to perform them, then it is obligatory to do so. If they are left due to an excuse, there is no sin, but a sacrifice (hady) is required for leaving each of them.

If standing at 'Arafah becomes impossible due to illness or similar reasons, each of them is released from ihram and no is required.
