The second question of fatwa number ( 968 )
Q2: I reside in the city of Ta'if , and every two or three months I perform 'Umrah voluntarily. Is the farewell tawaf obligatory for me or not?
A2: The scholars differed in explaining the meaning of the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 1327, narrated by Muslim ; is the intended meaning the one who departs from Makkah after completing the rites of Hajj, being a pilgrim, or the one who departs from it after finishing the rites of his Hajj if he is a pilgrim, and the rites of his 'Umrah if he is performing 'Umrah, or is the intended meaning the one who departs from Makkah in general, whether he is a pilgrim
or one performing 'Umrah, or neither? You should, when you perform 'Umrah in the future, perform the farewell tawaf as a precaution and to avoid the difference of opinion. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

None amongst you should depart until he performs the last circumambulation round the House.
لا ينفرن أحد حتى يكون آخر عهده بالبيتor one performing 'Umrah, or neither?
