Question:
On the margin of this question, in the gatherings of people during the days of Hajj, the honorable doctor raises a number of questions regarding this part of the question. They say that sometimes the tawaf of Ifadah and the tawaf of farewell are combined, and then they say it is better to perform the tawaf of Ifadah before the farewell, and so on. I hope you will clarify the statement on this issue and what is raised before your eminence, that is, during the days of Hajj?
Answer:
We know that it is better to perform the tawaf of Ifadah on the day of Eid, or to perform it after the day of Eid as soon as possible; the earlier it is performed, the better. As for the tawaf of farewell, it is connected to travel. If the pilgrim wants to travel to his family, he performs seven circuits before leaving Makkah, called the tawaf of farewell, because it is a farewell to the House upon travel. If it happens that he delays the tawaf of Ifadah and performs it upon travel, it suffices for the tawaf of farewell, but he must intend it for the Ifadah, not for the farewell; he intends it for the Ifadah, and it suffices for the tawaf of farewell, because it is true that it is his last visit to the House. Yes.
