The ruling on performing the farewell tawaf before stoning the pillars

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who performs the farewell tawaf before stoning the pillars?

The Shaykh:
No, no, the farewell tawaf is after the stoning; it is not valid except after the stoning. Its time is the very last thing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
until he performs the last circumambulationحتى يكون آخر عهده
Sahih Muslim 1327
in the House.

The questioner:
May Allah love you, say this.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

Another questioner:
Any phrase that makes the last thing one does with the House the tawaf with that phrase.

The Shaykh:
It is well known in its general sense; the tawaf is intended by the tawaf. Some of the pilgrims [do] the tawaf, but it is well known in its general sense, so that the last thing, meaning the tawaf, is this. This is what is intended by us, the people of knowledge.

Another questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

Another questioner:
Yes. Oh, genius.

The Shaykh:
It is sufficient; it does not harm because it is attached to the tawaf.

Another questioner:
Look.

The Shaykh:
Yes, because of the two rak'ahs of the tawaf.
