The Ruling on the Farewell Tawaf for the One Performing 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I attended to perform 'Umrah with my mother, and there were women with her. Is the farewell tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) obligatory upon us? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
Yes, the farewell tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) is only for Hajj. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only commanded the pilgrims to do itSahih Muslim 1327, except that he made an exception for the menstruating woman. As for 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage), it is not obligatory, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform a farewell for it, but there is no report that he commanded any of the people performing 'Umrah to perform a farewell tawaf. However, if one does it as a precaution and to increase good, there is no harm. Yes.
