The Farewell Tawaf for One Who Intends to Leave Makkah Permanently
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a resident in Makkah, O Shaykh. He says: I have worked in this blessed land for several years, praise be to Allah, and I am going to my family for a final departure. Is the farewell tawaf obligatory on me to bid farewell to the House?
Answer:
No, the farewell tawaf is not obligatory on you. The farewell tawaf is only for Hajj. So whoever performs Hajj at the House, he performs tawaf for farewell, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the pilgrims that their last visit should be to the House, except that he made an exception for the menstruating woman, and likewise the woman with post-natal bleeding. Yes.
