The questioner : The questioner says: I am from Jeddah and I performed Hajj last year but did not perform the farewell tawaf. What is required of me, knowing that I returned after Hajj a few days later and performed the farewell tawaf?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible for anyone who performs Hajj to this House or 'Umrah to leave it without performing the farewell tawaf, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9:969 And Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 1755 This hadith is general and includes both Hajj and 'Umrah. In fact, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called 'Umrah the lesser Hajj, as in the hadith of 'Amr ibn Hazm, which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote for him, where he said: Whether one is from the people of Jeddah or from those further away, if he is not from the people of Makkah, it is not permissible for him to leave after performing a ritual until he performs the farewell tawaf. However, al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) stated that if one leaves immediately after the completion of his 'Umrah, he does not need to perform the farewell tawaf, because the first tawaf takes the place of the farewell tawaf. As for this man who asks what is required of him, the well-known view among scholars is that whoever leaves an obligatory part of the rituals must slaughter a fidyah in Makkah and distribute it to the poor.
The questioner : Even if he slaughters it in a place other than Makkah.
The Shaykh : He must slaughter it in Makkah.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible for anyone who performs Hajj to this House or 'Umrah to leave it without performing the farewell tawaf, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
No one should depart until his last visit is to the House
لا ينفر أحد حتى يكون آخر عهده بالبيتThe people were ordered to perform the Tawaf of the Ka`ba (Tawaf-al-Wada`) as the lastly thing, before leaving (Mecca), except the menstruating women who were excused.
أمر الناس أن يكون آخر عهدهم بالبيت إلا أنه خفف عن الحائضAnd 'Umrah is the lesser Hajj.
