Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is the farewell tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) obligatory in 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage)?
Answer:
It is not obligatory. The farewell tawaf is obligatory in Hajj (the major pilgrimage). This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the pilgrims to perform the farewell tawaf and prevented them from traveling until they had performed it. As for 'Umrah, it was not mentioned, and there is no report that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded those performing 'Umrah to perform the farewell tawaf.
