Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the farewell tawaf in 'Umrah?
Answer:
The farewell tawaf is for Hajj only. It is obligatory in Hajj because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the pilgrims to make it the last of their visits to the House, and he forbade anyone from leaving until he had performed tawaf around the House. This applies to Hajj. As for 'Umrah, there is no report that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the 'umrah performers to perform a farewell tawaf. However, if one performs it as a precaution, there is no harm. But it is not obligatory in 'Umrah. Yes.
