When is it permissible for a pilgrim or one performing 'Umrah, if he has left Makkah without performing the farewell tawaf, to return to perform the farewell tawaf?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : He says: When is it permissible for a pilgrim or one performing 'Umrah, if he has left Makkah without performing the farewell tawaf, or if he has moved away from Makkah—so he left Makkah, all right—to return to Makkah to perform the farewell tawaf? But if he has reached his home...

Answer : ...then the blood sacrifice becomes obligatory upon him, even if it is close, such as Jeddah or al-Ta'if. As for if he has not returned to his home, the scholars discussed this in terms of the distance of shortening the prayer (the distance of qasr). What appears to me is that once he has passed beyond Makkah, it becomes established upon him, because he has left Makkah, so the description applies to him, because he has dropped the farewell tawaf. So once he exits the boundaries of Makkah, the blood sacrifice becomes obligatory upon him.
