➊
From this hadith, it apparently seems that for the Qarin (and likewise for the Mufrid), a single performance of tawaf is sufficient, which he performs at the time of arrival (qudum). After that, on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah, performing the tawaf al-ifadah is not obligatory for him, just as performing sa’i is not obligatory for him on that day, because he has already performed the sa’i with the first tawaf.
However, Shaykh Ibn Baz (rahimahullah) has written that, in light of other evidences, the most correct opinion is that tawaf al-ifadah is obligatory for everyone, whether he is a mutamatti’, a qarin, or a mufrid. However, repeating the sa’i is only for the mutamatti’.
For the qarin and the mufrid, a single sa’i is sufficient, which is performed at the time of tawaf al-qudum.
