What is the ruling on the farewell tawaf for the one performing 'Umrah who stays behind for a day or part of a day after the 'Umrah?

The questioner : The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the farewell tawaf for the one performing 'Umrah if he stays behind for a day or part of a day after the 'Umrah?

The Shaykh : Regarding the farewell tawaf for the one performing 'Umrah: if his intention upon arriving in Makkah was to perform tawaf, sa'y, and then return, then he owes no tawaf, because the arrival tawaf serves in his case the function of the farewell tawaf. However, if he remains in Makkah, the stronger position is that it is obligatory for him to perform the farewell tawaf. This is based on the following evidence: First, the generality of the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) This includes "one" (ahad), which is an indefinite noun in a context of negation or prohibition, and thus it encompasses everyone who departs. Second, 'Umrah is like Hajj; indeed, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called it Hajj, as in the well-known hadith of 'Amr ibn Hazm, which the Muslim community accepted with approval. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Third, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Fourth, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to 'Ilayya ibn Umayyah: The only exceptions to this are those matters on which the scholars have agreed that they do not apply to 'Umrah, such as standing at 'Arafah, staying overnight at Muzdalifah, staying overnight at Mina, and stoning the pillars. By consensus, these are not prescribed in 'Umrah. Furthermore, when a person performs the tawaf, his conscience is cleared and he is safer, because if you perform the tawaf, no scholar will say that you made a mistake. But if you leave without performing the tawaf, some scholars will say that you made a mistake by leaving without a farewell.
