The Ruling on the Farewell Tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There is nothing; I do not recall him saying, “He came to the land, so Allah bound him and was pleased with him.”
Answer:
You have heard the discussion on it, and that there is no evidence for its obligation. As for one who performs it as a recommended practice, there is no harm; he may perform it. But as for its being obligatory, and if we were to say, “You owe a blood sacrifice if you leave it,” we say, “No, there is no evidence for that.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed 'Umrah how many times, and he did not perform the farewell tawaf. Also, the hadiths that came regarding the farewell tawaf are only in the context of Hajj.
