The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The honorable Shaykh, a person performed 'Umrah and forgot the farewell?
The Shaykh : Yes, the correct opinion among the scholars is that 'Umrah has a farewell like Hajj, due to the generality of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 1327 And because 'Umrah is a lesser Hajj, as in the hadith of 'Amr ibn Hazm where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And because a person comes to the House, he comes to the House with a greeting, which is tawaf, so it is not befitting for him to leave it except with a greeting, which is tawaf. So the correct view is that the farewell tawaf in 'Umrah is obligatory, except for one who performed tawaf and sa'y and shortened his hair, then returned to his family; for him, the first tawaf is sufficient. So if this person you mentioned, yes, if this person you mentioned left immediately after completing the 'Umrah, he owes nothing. But if he remained in Makkah, it is a precaution that he slaughter a fidyah in Makkah to be distributed to the poor, if he is able and it is feasible. And if he is not able and it is not feasible, he owes nothing.
