The Ruling on Performing 'Umrah Without the Farewell Tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If one performs 'Umrah and does not perform the farewell tawaf, is anything required of him?
Answer:
In the correct view, the farewell tawaf is not obligatory for the one performing 'Umrah; it is only obligatory for the one performing Hajj. This is based on the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to the pilgrims: He did not say anything of that to the people performing 'Umrah. Also, 'Umrah is based on ease and facilitation; because it is prescribed at all times, the farewell tawaf is not required in it.
However, if he performs the farewell tawaf, that is better. Otherwise, it is not required. This is the correct view.
