The Expiation for Omitting the Farewell Tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a message received from a questioner who says: Last year, during my first Hajj, I did not perform the farewell tawaf because I was going to stay in Makkah for sure. I am a resident of Tabuk, so I traveled and did not perform the farewell tawaf.
Answer:
In that case, you owe a fidyah, which is slaughtering a sheep in Makkah and distributing it to the poor, because the farewell tawaf is an obligatory part of Hajj. Every traveler after Hajj must perform the farewell tawaf. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “They were commanded that their last visit should be to the House, except that it was made easier for the menstruating woman; the menstruating woman does not have to perform the farewell tawaf.” Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
