The Ruling on the Farewell Tawaf in 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks about two matters. The first is whether 'Umrah has a farewell tawaf.
Answer:
We say: No, it does not have a farewell tawaf. The farewell tawaf is specific to Hajj, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the pilgrims not to depart after Hajj except that they perform tawaf around the House seven times. It is not reported that he commanded the 'Umrah pilgrims that they should not leave except with a farewell tawaf. This is not reported. This is the first question. However, if one wants to perform tawaf when traveling, he is not prohibited from doing so. But we say that a farewell tawaf is not obligatory for 'Umrah; it is not obligatory.
