The Obligation of the Farewell Tawaf for the One Performing 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the position you hold regarding the issue of the obligation of the farewell tawaf for the one performing 'Umrah? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
What appears to me is that there is no farewell tawaf for 'Umrah; rather, this is specific to Hajj. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not command the farewell tawaf except for the pilgrims performing Hajj. In the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), he said: "They were commanded that their last act of worship at the House should be the tawaf," meaning the pilgrims. The people were departing from every direction, so they were commanded that their last act at the House should be the tawaf around the House. This is specific to Hajj, and it was not mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded those performing 'Umrah to perform the tawaf. Yes.
