The Ruling on Omitting the Farewell Tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man performed the obligatory Hajj, but he was unable to perform the farewell tawaf due to an illness in his abdomen. Fearing he would be separated from his companions, they left the Holy Makkah and he went with them, so he did not perform the farewell tawaf. What is the ruling in this case?
Answer:
He must repent to Allah, because he left an obligatory act, and leaving an obligatory act is a sin. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the farewell tawaf and said: So he is a sinner in this action. He must repent to Allah and seek forgiveness, and he must also offer a sacrificial animal to be slaughtered in Makkah for the poor, because whoever leaves an obligatory act must offer a sacrificial animal to be slaughtered for the poor.

لا ينفر أحد منكم حتى يكون آخر عهده بالبيت
