What is the ruling on the farewell tawaf? Is it specific to Hajj and not for the one performing 'Umrah?

The questioner : The questioner says — we are now moving on to Hajj —: What is the ruling on the farewell tawaf first? Is it specific to the one performing Hajj and not for the one performing 'Umrah?

The Shaykh : As for the ruling on the farewell tawaf, it is obligatory; unlike the tawaf of Ifadah, which is a pillar of Hajj. Therefore, the Messenger (peace be upon him) granted a dispensation to a woman who menstruates, allowing her to leave and depart with her caravan if menstruation comes to her before she performs the farewell tawaf. This is unlike the tawaf of Ifadah; it is not permissible for her to leave Makkah until she becomes pure and performs tawaf around the Ka'bah. As for whether the lawfulness or the obligation of the farewell tawaf is the same for the one performing 'Umrah as it is for the one performing Hajj, or not? I have a pause in this issue, meaning the issue has not become clear to me. If I were able to say that it is most likely a ruling specific to the one performing Hajj, I would have said so, but I have a pause. Perhaps Allah (Mighty and Majestic) will grant us longevity so that we can study this issue in particular.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
