The Ruling on the Farewell Tawaf for 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. The brother has another question as well. He asks: Is it recommended to perform a farewell tawaf for 'Umrah?

Answer:
This was not reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). What was reported is that the pilgrim does not leave after Hajj, nor travel, unless he performs the farewell tawaf. The statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is because it was mentioned in the hadith:
The people were commanded (by the Holy Prophet) to perform the last circumambulation round the House, but menstruating womenأنهم أمروا أن يكون آخر عهدهم بالبيت، إلا أنه خفف عن المرأة
Sahih Muslim 1328a
And the people were dispersing from every direction, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that no one should disperse until they bid farewell to the House with the farewell tawaf. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) did this when he performed the farewell tawaf; indeed, at the end of his Hajj deeds, when he intended to travel back to Madinah, he performed the farewell tawaf.
