What is the ruling on the farewell tawaf in 'Umrah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If one has performed 'Umrah, is a farewell tawaf required of him?

Answer:
A farewell tawaf is not obligatory for him, because 'Umrah does not have a farewell tawaf. The farewell tawaf is only for Hajj. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
None amongst you should depart until he performs the last circumambulation round the House.لا ينفرن أحد حتى يكون آخر عهده بالبيت
Sahih Muslim 1327
This is regarding Hajj, and he did not say the same for 'Umrah. Nor did he order the people performing 'Umrah, despite the large number of those who perform it, to perform a farewell tawaf.
