He did tawaaf al-ifaadah and tawaaf al-wadaa‘ on the tenth day (of Dhu’l-Hijjah)

Question

Praise be to Allah.

Firstly:

The Sunnah is
for the pilgrim to remain in Mina during the day, because that is what the
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) did. He may go out from
there to Makkah or Jeddah and the like, especially if that is because he has
no place to stay in Mina.

Shaykh Ibn
‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: Does going out during
the days of at-tashreeq to places near Makkah, such as Jeddah for example,
affect one’s Hajj?

He replied: It
does not affect one’s Hajj, but what is preferable is to remain in Mina
night and day, as the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
remained there night and day.

Secondly:

Tawaaf al-wadaa‘
(the tawaaf of farewell) can only be done after one has completed all the
rituals, i.e., after the days of Mina and stoning the Jamaraat. It is not
permissible and is not valid to do it before that. So whoever does tawaaf
al-wadaa‘ on the tenth or eleventh day (of Dhu’l-Hijjah), that is not valid.

It is
permissible to delay tawaaf al-ifaadah until the time of tawaaf al-wadaa‘,
as has been explained previously in the answer to question no. 36870.

Shaykh Muhammad
ibn Ibraaheem (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

As for the one
whose house is in Jeddah, if he does tawaaf al-ifaadah before finishing the
stoning of the Jamaraat, and he intends in his tawaaf that it should be both
tawaaf al-ifaadah and tawaaf al-wadaa‘, this does not count for tawaaf al-wadaa‘,
because he has not yet completed the actions of Hajj.

But if this
tawaaf is for ifaadah after he has completed the stoning of the Jamaraat,
and he intends it as such and did not perform tawaaf al-wadaa‘ after that,
and did not stay in Makkah after that – rather he left straightaway – then
it will suffice for tawaaf al-wadaa‘ too.

Fataawa ash-Shaykh Ibn Ibraaheem (6/108)

To sum up: what
you did as tawaaf al-wadaa‘ was not valid, and your departure for Jeddah
after doing the rituals without a tawaaf is something for which you must
offer a compensatory sacrifice, which is a sheep to be slaughtered in the
Haraam and its meat distributed among the poor there.

Your wife also
has to sacrifice a sheep, so long as she was not menstruating at the time of
departure, because tawaaf al-wadaa‘ is waived in the case of a woman who is
menstruating, because of the report narrated by al-Bukhaari (1755) and
Muslim (1328) from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The
people were commanded that the last thing they should do is to
circumambulate the House, but an exception was made for menstruating women.

Your tawaaf al-wadaa‘ is not
valid as you did it, and the compensatory sacrifice cannot be waived by
doing it in your case, because you left Makkah without doing tawaaf al-wadaa‘.

Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah
have mercy on him) was asked: We are residents of Jeddah, and we came last
year for Hajj. We completed all the rituals except tawaaf al-wadaa‘, which
we delayed until the end of Dhu’l-Hijjah, after the crowds grew less. Is our
Hajj valid?

He replied:

If a person does Hajj and
delays tawaaf al-wadaa‘, his Hajj is valid, but he must do tawaaf al-wadaa‘
when he decides to leave Makkah. If he lives outside Makkah, such as the
people of Jeddah and the people of at-Taa’if, Madinah and so on, then he
should not leave until he bids farewell to the Ka‘bah with a tawaaf of seven
circuits only, and there is no sa‘i, because there is no sa‘i in wadaa‘
(farewell); rather it is tawaaf only. If he leaves without doing tawaaf al-wadaa‘,
then he must offer a compensatory sacrifice according to the majority of
scholars, to be slaughtered in Makkah and its meat distributed to the poor
and needy. But his Hajj is valid as mentioned above. This is the view of the
majority of scholars. To sum up, tawaaf al-wadaa‘ is an obligatory ritual,
according to the most correct scholarly view. It is proven from Ibn ‘Abbaas
(may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Whoever omits a ritual or
forget it, let him offer a sacrifice. This ritual was omitted deliberately,
so the person must offer a sacrifice, to be slaughtered in Makkah and the
meat distributed to the poor and needy. The fact that he wants to come back
to Makkah later on to do it, does not mean that this obligation could be
waived. This is the favoured view, and this is the most correct view in my
opinion. And Allah knows best.
