What is the correct view regarding the farewell tawaf for 'Umrah?

Question:
This questioner says in this question: What is the correct view, Your Eminence, regarding the farewell tawaf for 'Umrah? Is it obligatory?

Answer:
The most apparent of the scholars' views is that it is recommended, not obligatory; because there is no evidence for the obligation of the 'Umrah tawaf. Rather, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the pilgrims to perform tawaf for farewell. He said to the pilgrims: And Ibn 'Abbas said: "He commanded the people—meaning the pilgrims—that their last visit be to the House." It did not come that he commanded the 'umrah performers to perform tawaf around the House for farewell.
And when the people of al-Ji'ranah performed 'Umrah, he did not perform a farewell tawaf. Likewise, when he performed the 'Umrah of al-Qada', he did not perform a farewell tawaf, as far as we know from the Sunnah. This is to clarify the permissibility, and that there is no farewell tawaf required of one performing 'Umrah. When the 'umrah performers exited their state of ihram from their 'Umrah on the fourth of Dhu al-Hijjah, and they left with their camels, he did not command them to perform a farewell tawaf. Those who left after the 'Umrah with their camels... and although it was long distances for the shepherd.
The point is: that the best is to perform the farewell tawaf, but there is no evidence for it. Then, 'Umrah is prescribed permanently, and it is repeated in the year, and it may come many times, so its matter is broad, with no strictness in it. Yes.
