The Ruling on the Farewell Tawaf for 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, does 'Umrah have a farewell tawaf?
Answer:
It is more cautious to perform it for 'Umrah; that is the more cautious course. However, its obligation does not appear for 'Umrah. This is for Hajj. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) only ordered the pilgrims to perform the farewell tawaf, saying, "Let no one leave until he has performed tawaf around the House." This is in Hajj. Some scholars say that 'Umrah is like it, because 'Umrah is a lesser Hajj. Allah knows best. But there is no doubt that the most cautious and best course is to perform the farewell tawaf for 'Umrah. Yes.
