Does 'Umrah have a farewell tawaf?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there a farewell tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) for 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage), given that we will stay in Makkah for three days?

Answer:
The correct view is that there is no farewell tawaf for 'Umrah; this is only for Hajj (the major pilgrimage). This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only ordered the pilgrims performing Hajj to perform the farewell tawaf, and he did not order those performing 'Umrah to do so.
