Is the farewell tawaf prescribed for 'Umrah as it is prescribed for Hajj?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the farewell tawaf for 'Umrah obligatory or recommended?

Answer:
No, the correct view is that 'Umrah has no farewell tawaf; the farewell tawaf is for Hajj. This is because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) only commanded the pilgrims to do it. He said, "No one should depart until his last visit is to the House." This refers to the pilgrims. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) performed 'Umrah several times and passed by the House, but there is no mention of him commanding a farewell tawaf for 'Umrah.
