The questioner : He says: Noble Shaykh, I went last summer to perform the 'Umrah with a relative of mine, and when we finished performing the 'Umrah, we went immediately to Jeddah and stayed for about two days. When we wanted to travel to Abha to spend the rest of the vacation there, we passed through Makkah. My relative said to me: "How can we pass through Makkah without performing the farewell tawaf?" I said to him: "We left it immediately after the 'Umrah, and the one who leaves Makkah immediately after the 'Umrah does not have to perform the farewell tawaf." The result is that we performed the farewell tawaf and then traveled. So, is the correct view with my relative or with me? Knowing that I will go this summer, if Allah wills, and I will stay in Jeddah and then return?
The Shaykh : The correct view is with the one who said: If a person leaves immediately after the 'Umrah, he does not have to perform the farewell tawaf. The evidence for this is that the Mother of the Believers, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), when she performed 'Umrah after Hajj, she left without a farewell tawaf, because the tawaf that was before the sa'y was sufficient. However, your tawaf after passing through Makkah is undoubtedly good, and you will earn reward by it, if Allah wills, Mighty and Majestic. So, from the perspective of the ruling, the correct view is with the questioner who said: "We do not have to perform the farewell tawaf." And from the perspective of reward and recompense, the correct view is with the one who said: "We want to perform the farewell tawaf." But in reality, this is not a farewell tawaf, but rather a voluntary tawaf. Yes.
