The Stronger Position on the Farewell Tawaf for 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks, Honorable Shaykh, about the stronger position on the farewell tawaf for 'Umrah. I travel frequently; I go to Makkah for work and business twice a week. Is the farewell tawaf for 'Umrah established?
Answer:
The stronger position is that 'Umrah has no farewell tawaf, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order the people performing 'Umrah to perform a tawaf for 'Umrah; rather, he ordered the pilgrims performing Hajj to do so. He said to the pilgrims: “No one should depart until his last visit is to the House.” The farewell tawaf is specific to Hajj. Yes.
