Farewell Tawaf for 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I came for 'Umrah, and I intend to return after performing the Friday prayer. Is the farewell tawaf obligatory or not? And if the farewell tawaf is obligatory for me, is it possible for me to perform it before the Friday prayer? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is no farewell tawaf for 'Umrah; the farewell tawaf is for Hajj. This is the correct position. If you perform a tawaf for farewell, that is good and there is no harm. Whether you perform it before the prayer or after the prayer, if you perform it before the prayer, then pray Friday and travel, or if you perform it after Friday, it is on a broad basis. If one performs the farewell tawaf other than at Fajr, then travels after Dhuhr, there is no harm, no problem. Or if he performs the farewell tawaf after Dhuhr and travels after 'Asr or after Maghrib, there is no harm, within the scope of safety.
