Question:
Fatwa number 2014. The questioner says: A man performed Hajj and did the farewell tawaf at night, but he was unable to leave Makkah after the tawaf, and he stayed in Makkah until morning, then he traveled. What is the ruling?

Answer:
The prescribed ruling is that the pilgrim’s farewell tawaf should be when he leaves Makkah, based on the hadith of Ibn Abbas, agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim:
The people were ordered to perform the Tawaf of the Ka`ba (Tawaf-al-Wada`) as the lastly thing, before leaving (Mecca), except the menstruating women who were excused.أمر الناس أن يكون آخر عهدهم بالبيت، إلا أنه خفف عن الحائض
Sahih al-Bukhari 1755
. As long as he performed the tawaf with the intention of leaving at night, and he was not able to leave until morning, then he owes nothing in that matter, if Allah wills. If he had repeated the tawaf when he left, that would have been more cautious. And success is from Allah.
