Is it permissible to go to 'Arafah on the seventh day and delay the tawaf of ifadhah until it is combined with the tawaf of farewell?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: This year I intend to perform Hajj, I intend to perform Hajj, my wife and I, and I have small children with me. He says: In order to spare my wife and children hardship, am I allowed to start going to 'Arafah on the seventh day? Also, is it permissible for me to delay the tawaf of ifadhah so that it is combined with the tawaf of farewell?

Answer:
Both matters are permissible, and praise be to Allah. It is permissible for you to go to 'Arafah directly and not pass through Makkah until after you descend from 'Arafah; this is permissible. And it is permissible for you to combine the tawaf of ifadhah with the departure, and that suffices for the farewell tawaf. Yes.
