The Ruling on the Farewell Tawaf for 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: For years, when I perform 'Umrah, I do the farewell tawaf and do not leave it out. What is the stronger position regarding the farewell tawaf for 'Umrah?
Answer:
May Allah reward you. The farewell tawaf for 'Umrah is better to do, but it is not obligatory. The farewell tawaf is for Hajj. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only ordered the pilgrims to perform the farewell tawaf, and that no one should depart until his last visit is to the House. As for 'Umrah, there is no report that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered those performing 'Umrah to do the farewell tawaf. However, if one does it, it is better and more cautious. Yes.
