The Ruling on the Farewell Tawaf for 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks and says: Shaykh, I perform more than one 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage) in the year, praise be to Allah, but I ask: does the 'Umrah have a farewell tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah)?
Answer:
The farewell tawaf is better. It is not established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed a tawaf for the 'Umrah as a farewell, nor did he order it. However, some scholars consider it obligatory, while others do not, because there is no specific evidence for it. But if one performs a farewell tawaf after the 'Umrah, that is better. Yes.
