What is the ruling on the farewell tawaf in Hajj?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the ruling for one who forgot the farewell tawaf in Hajj, then went to Madinah and returned to perform it? Does he owe a fidyah (ransom payment)?
Answer:
Yes, the fidyah is due on him, and his return from Madinah has no value. If he travels without performing the farewell tawaf, the fidyah becomes obligatory on him, even if he returns. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “No one should depart until he circumambulates the House.” Therefore, it is not permissible to travel except after the farewell tawaf. If he travels before performing it, the fidyah becomes obligatory on him, which is slaughtering a sheep in Makkah and distributing it to the poor of the Haram. If he is unable to do so, he must fast for ten days.
