The ruling on leaving the farewell tawaf for travel

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: I have booked for Hajj this year, by the grace of Allah, and I ask about the farewell tawaf if I am unable to perform it due to the heavy crowds, and I return to Ta'if, then return to Makkah again after a week or two, is there anything wrong with that?

Answer:
The farewell tawaf is before travel. If you have performed Hajj and you want to travel from Makkah after Hajj, it is obligatory for you to perform the farewell tawaf. The people were commanded, as in the hadith
to perform the Tawaf of the Ka`ba (Tawaf-al-Wada`) as the lastly thingأن يكون آخر عهدهم بالبيت،
Sahih al-Bukhari 1755
So you must perform the farewell tawaf. If you travel to Jeddah or elsewhere before the farewell tawaf, you owe a fidyah (ransom payment) because you left an obligatory part of the obligations of Hajj. Yes.
