What is the ruling on combining the Tawaf of Departure with the Tawaf of Ifadah on the night of the thirteenth of Dhu al-Hijjah and relying on it in place of the Farewell Tawaf?

The questioner : The honorable Shaykh is asked: What is the ruling on combining the Tawaf of Departure with the Tawaf of Ifadah on the night of the thirteenth of Dhu al-Hijjah and relying on it in place of the Farewell Tawaf?

The Shaykh : Yes. If a person delays the Tawaf of Ifadah until he travels and performs it upon his departure, it suffices for him in place of the Farewell Tawaf. Just as the obligatory prayer suffices for the greeting of the mosque. If you enter the mosque and find the people praying the Fajr prayer, it suffices for you in place of the greeting of the mosque. Likewise, the Tawaf of Ifadah suffices for you in place of the Farewell Tawaf. And if you intend both, you will have achieved both. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): . But beware of intending with this Tawaf only the Farewell Tawaf and not the Tawaf of Ifadah, because some people fall into this. They forget; you find that they delayed the Tawaf of Ifadah until their departure. But upon departure, they intended only the Farewell Tawaf. This is a mistake, because if he did not intend anything but the Farewell Tawaf, what remains for him? The Tawaf of Ifadah remains, meaning he must return to perform the Tawaf of Ifadah. So let a person be careful of this.
Yes.
