Sufficing with the Tawaf of Departure in Place of the Farewell Tawaf and Performing Sa'y Before Tawaf

The questioner:
This question, or something similar to it, has been asked several times in the past. Is the Tawaf of Departure sufficient in place of the Farewell Tawaf? And should I perform Sa'y before Tawaf so that it counts?

The Shaykh:
Yes, the Tawaf of Departure is sufficient in place of the Farewell Tawaf if you delay it until after you leave, even if you perform Sa'y with it. Do not perform Sa'y before Tawaf; rather, perform Tawaf and then Sa'y, and that is sufficient. Performing the Farewell Tawaf after that is an addition, and it is more complete and better, and there is a great reward for it.

The questioner:
Okay, if the Tawaf of Departure is the first one and the Farewell Tawaf is the other one—may Allah bless you—meaning, it is the Tawaf of Departure and Sa'y, should I perform Sa'y between the two pillars of al-Marwah before the Tawaf of Departure so that the Tawaf of Departure...

The Shaykh:
You perform Tawaf and then you die.

The questioner:
From the Farewell Tawaf.

The Shaykh:
Sa'y is performed after Tawaf. Sa'y after Tawaf is its prescribed practice: you perform Tawaf and then Sa'y, and that is sufficient. Because Sa'y is like a part of Tawaf, it does not harm if you travel after it. And if you perform the Farewell Tawaf, that is an addition, and that is good.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
