The Ruling on Delaying the Tawaf of Ifadah and Its Sufficiency for the Farewell Tawaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question concerns the evidence for what some people say, namely that the Tawaf of Ifadah is combined with the Farewell Tawaf, or that the Tawaf of Ifadah is delayed until the Farewell Tawaf. Many people do this in Hajj, and we ask them: what is the evidence? They say: "The last thing one does at the House is the tawaf." What is the evidence for that? Thank you, Abu 'Abd al-Rahman.

Answer:
Yes, the answer is what they mentioned: that it qualifies as his last visit to the House. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said and commanded, as in the hadith:
The people were commanded (by the Holy Prophet) to perform the last circumambulation round the House, but menstruating women were exempted.أمروا أن يكون آخر عهدهم بالبيت، إلا أنه خفف عن المرأة الحائض،
Sahih Muslim 1328a
And in the hadith:
the other hadith: No one should depart until he performs the Farewell Tawaf around the House, meaning,الآخر لا ينفرن أحد حتى يطوف بالبيت طواف الوداع يعني،
if he performsفإذا طاف
If the Tawaf of Ifadah is the last thing he does and he departs after it, this is valid and suffices for the Farewell Tawaf, because it is the last thing and his last visit to the House. Yes.
