The ruling on the obligation of bidding farewell to the House in 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Make your last visit to the House," or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said. The question is: Is it obligatory in 'Umrah that
his last visit to the Houseيكون آخر العهد بالبيت
, or is it not obligatory, and is it specific to Hajj?

Answer:
It is correct that this was addressed regarding Hajj, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed the pilgrims with it. The pilgrims were departing from every direction, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No one should depart until
until he performs the last circumambulation round the Houseحتى يكون آخر عهده بالبيت
Sahih Muslim 1327
, or until he has completed his Hajj." As for 'Umrah, the majority of scholars hold that it does not have a farewell. Also, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform 'Umrah, and the Companions used to perform 'Umrah, and it is not reported that he ordered them to bid farewell, nor that he emphasized the farewell for 'Umrah. So the correct view is that the farewell is specific to Hajj, and as for 'Umrah, there is no farewell for it. Yes.
