Is the farewell tawaf waived for anyone other than a menstruating woman?

Question : The questioner says: Is it possible for the farewell tawaf to be waived for anyone other than a menstruating woman?

Answer : The answer is no, except for one who is ill and unable to perform the tawaf himself or be carried. In that case, we might say that physical impossibility is like legal impossibility. Otherwise, he must perform the tawaf, even if he is carried. For this reason, when Umm Salimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), intending to perform the farewell tawaf, that she was ill, he said: “Perform the tawaf behind the people while you are riding.” He did not permit her to leave the tawaf. A woman with post-natal bleeding is like a menstruating woman.
He issues the tawaf. He says that some regions of the Kingdom are more difficult than foreign countries. That is correct. In foreign countries, if you are delayed, you are prevented from returning by the state, because these pilgrims do not come except after the Hajj and the 'Umrah, so the matter is not light, and the expenses are also high. As for us, we do not need to say that this permission is required from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or from such and such; it is not required. Even if the distance is far, now the maximum distance from one end of the Kingdom to the other is covered by plane in two hours.
