Staying in Makkah after the Farewell Tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Issue: After the Farewell Tawaf, is it permissible to stay in Makkah? No.
Unless he is prevented from leaving by a compelling reason, such as falling ill and going to the hospital, or waiting for his companions, or stopping at a shop to buy travel supplies or gifts for his family. In such cases, there is no harm, even if the wait for the companions is long. For example, if he performs the Farewell Tawaf and goes home to wait for them, and one of the companions is missing so they sit and wait for him, remaining for an hour, two hours, or more, there is no need to repeat the Tawaf. The first Tawaf is sufficient, because he remained in Makkah for a valid excuse.
