What is the ruling on the farewell tawaf in 'Umrah?

The questioner : The second part of the question is: What is the ruling on the farewell tawaf in 'Umrah?

The Shaykh : Yes. The farewell tawaf (circumambulation) in 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage) is obligatory (wajib) due to the generality of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) statement: This is the wording of al-Bukhari, and Abu Dawud has: And 'Umrah is the companion of Hajj (the major pilgrimage) and its sister; indeed, some scholars have called it the lesser Hajj. It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith of Ya'la ibn Umayyah that he said to the one who had applied perfume: "What are you doing?" He said: It is a relative pronoun from the forms of generality, so this sentence implies that everything done in Hajj is done in 'Umrah. However, standing at 'Arafah, staying overnight at Muzdalifah and Mina, and stoning the pillars are excluded from this by explicit text and scholarly consensus (ijma'), for these acts are not performed in 'Umrah. What remains falls under the generality, so the farewell tawaf is obligatory in 'Umrah, except if the person who performed 'Umrah intends that after he circumambulates, walks between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and shaves or shortens his hair, he will travel to his home. In that case, the tawaf he performed first suffices as the farewell tawaf, and he does not repeat the tawaf a second time. Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) indicated this in his Sahih in the chapters on 'Umrah.
But you might say to me that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "No one departs until his last visit to the House is tawaf." He said that in the Farewell Pilgrimage; he said it regarding Hajj, not regarding 'Umrah. In fact, the apparent state of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is that when he left from the 'Umrah of al-Qada', he left without performing a farewell tawaf. As we all know, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) performed 'Umrah four times after his migration. The first 'Umrah: the polytheists prevented him, and he was unable to perform it. When was that? When was that? If I were to ask where that was, you would say at al-Hudaybiyyah, but "when" asks about the time. In the eighth year, or the seventh, or the sixth? Complete, complete, you car. The eighth was the period of the Conquest, and the seventh was the 'Umrah of al-Qada'. Ready.
The sixth, yes. That was in the sixth year, and the polytheists prevented him at al-Hudaybiyyah. For this reason, it is called the 'Umrah of al-Hudaybiyyah, and it is also called the Expedition of al-Hudaybiyyah, because the Companions pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) therein to fight in the path of Allah. This is the first. The second is the 'Umrah of al-Qada' or the 'Umrah of al-Qada'. When was it? In the seventh year, in the same month, in Dhul-Qa'dah. It was called the 'Umrah of al-Qada' because the people completed the first 'Umrah, as it was the 'Umrah regarding which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made a treaty with Quraysh, meaning he made a peace treaty with them. The fourth 'Umrah, the third 'Umrah. Hmm? Al-Ja'ranah. When was it? Hello, hello, peace be upon you. The eighth year, yes, when he returned from the Expedition of Tabuk, from the Expedition of Tabuk, and he descended at al-Ja'ranah, and he entered Makkah at night performing 'Umrah, and he left on that same night. Do you understand, everyone? Those who do not answer say that the farewell tawaf in 'Umrah is not required because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform the farewell tawaf in the 'Umrah of al-Qada' or in the 'Umrah of al-Ja'ranah. The answer to that is to say: As for the 'Umrah of al-Ja'ranah, he did not perform the farewell tawaf because he left immediately, so he was content with the first tawaf. As for the 'Umrah of al-Qada', if we accept that he did not perform the farewell tawaf in it, then the obligation of the farewell tawaf was not established until the Farewell Pilgrimage, after the 'Umrah of al-Qada'. So the newly established ruling is the obligation of the farewell tawaf, and that was in the Farewell Pilgrimage. And the rulings of the Shari'ah are not restricted to their time or place if they are general. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "No one departs." Did he say, "No pilgrim departs until his last visit to the House is tawaf," or did he say, "No one departs"? He said, "No one departs." And al-Tirmidhi narrated from the hadith of Ibn 'Umar, as I think, what clearly indicates that whoever performs Hajj or 'Umrah does not leave until his last visit to the House is tawaf. However, this hadith has al-Hajjaj ibn Artat in its chain, and al-Hajjaj ibn Artat is known for his status among the hadith scholars. If a person performs the farewell tawaf for 'Umrah, has he taken the path of caution? Yes, because no one will say to him, "Why did you perform tawaf?" But if he leaves the tawaf, he takes the path of risk, because some people, as is well-known in the schools of jurisprudence, say that it is obligatory for you to perform the farewell tawaf. Yes.
