Some residents of Jeddah rush to perform or delay the farewell tawaf citing the crowds, then return days later to perform the farewell tawaf!!

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: As for the residents of Jeddah, they rush to perform or delay the farewell tawaf citing the crowds, then return after that, after days,

Answer:
This does not benefit them. The farewell tawaf is upon departure, upon leaving Makkah after Hajj. Leaving Makkah to Jeddah or to al-Ta'if or to elsewhere after Hajj. As for if he goes and says, "I will come back later," that does not suffice. If he misses it, he owes a fidyah (ransom payment). Yes.
