The Ruling on Delaying the Farewell Tawaf and Staying in Makkah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
To you: Is there a legal criterion for the one who has performed the farewell tawaf in Hajj and wants to delay, may Allah protect you?
The Shaykh:
If he intends to stay in Makkah after the farewell tawaf, his farewell is invalidated. So if he intends to travel, he must repeat the farewell tawaf. However, if his stay is light, meaning it is only to buy something or to pass through, passing by the house in Makkah to take a need from it, or to eat food, or to prepare for travel, this is not what is called a stay. This does not harm the farewell tawaf. Rather, if he intends to stay in Makkah, inside Makkah, after the farewell tawaf, he must repeat the tawaf.
The questioner:
Some pilgrims, may Allah protect you, delay the farewell tawaf and go to Jeddah or to Ta'if, then return after a week and perform the farewell tawaf and leave the Kingdom.
The Shaykh:
No, if he intends to leave Makkah for Ta'if or Jeddah, he performs the farewell tawaf, and then he travels as he intended. He does not repeat the farewell.
