How should one respond to those who cite the hadith: “Make your last farewell to the House a tawaf” in support of the farewell tawaf for the one performing 'Umrah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Al-Halabi : Shaykh, regarding the issue of the farewell tawaf, if some people bring to us the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): , then the response to them would be based on the principle you always remind us of, which is the matter of the Salaf’s understanding and application of this generality. Then there is something else: did this hadith come in mention of Hajj only, without 'Umrah, or is there something else?
The Shaykh : No, regarding the Salaf, it is not established that everyone who performs 'Umrah makes his last farewell to the House a tawaf.
Al-Halabi : Yes.
The Shaykh : As for the text from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), it is not specific to Hajj in terms of wording, but rather in the phrase “Let the farewell of any one of you to the House be a tawaf,” because such an address is usually
Al-Halabi : in mention of Hajj.
The Shaykh : In Hajj, yes. And it came in a narration mentioning 'Umrah along with Hajj, and if this had been authentic, it would have been
Al-Halabi : decisive
The Shaykh : a decisive proof regarding the disagreement on the issue. But the addition of 'Umrah along with Hajj in this hadith is a denounced addition, and therefore I mentioned the hadith with this addition in *Da'if al-Jami' al-Saghir*.
Al-Halabi : May Allah reward you with good, O Professor.
The Shaykh : And you too, O Allah, O the Generous.
