Is there a farewell tawaf for 'Umrah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : Is there a farewell tawaf for 'Umrah? With evidence, may Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh : If one performed tawaf, sa'y, and shortened his hair, and did not sit down, then he does not need a farewell tawaf because he performed tawaf and did not sit. As for the one who sat down, he must say farewell; he must perform tawaf for the farewell. What is the evidence? That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to 'Ulayy ibn Amiyah:Sahih Muslim 1180a This is a general ruling, but standing at 'Arafah, Muzdalifah, stoning the pillars, and staying overnight in Mina are excluded from it, which is clear by consensus. The rest is that 'Umrah is like Hajj. Then, it was reported in the hadith of 'Amr ibn Hazm that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called it the lesser Hajj. Then, by analogy, he entered the House with a greeting; what is it?
The student: Tawaf.
The Shaykh : The arrival tawaf. For 'Umrah, let him exit with a greeting, for the first is not more deserving than the second. Then, that is more cautious and more absolving of the conscience, because if he leaves the farewell tawaf, some scholars say to him that he is sinful, and if he performs the farewell tawaf, no one says that he is sinful. So what we see and what we issue as a ruling is that 'Umrah must have a farewell tawaf, except if he travels immediately after finishing his 'Umrah, then the first tawaf is sufficient. Yes.
