Abū Ḥanīfah (d. 150 AH). It is disliked for a pilgrim to send his baggage on ahead to Mecca and stay there until he has completed the stoning. When he moves on to Mecca he should halt at al-Muḥaṣṣab, then perform seven circuits around the House without jogging; this is the farewell circumambulation (ṭawāf al-ṣadr), and it is obligatory for everyone except the residents of Mecca. After that he returns home.

If a muḥrim does not enter Mecca at all but proceeds directly to ʿArafāt and stands there as outlined above, the circumambulation of arrival (ṭawāf al-qudūm) is waived and no penalty is incurred for omitting it.

Whoever attains the standing at ʿArafāt at any time from the sun’s decline on the Day of ʿArafah until dawn on the Day of Sacrifice has attained the ḥajj.

Even one who passes through ʿArafāt while asleep, unconscious, or unaware that the place is ʿArafāt is deemed to have fulfilled the standing.

In all of this a woman is like a man, except that she does not uncover her head—though her face remains uncovered—does not raise her voice in the talbiyah, does not jog during tawāf, does not run between the two markers, and does not shave her head; rather, she merely trims it.
