The due time of the Farewell Tawaaf
Is it permissible to perform the Farewell Tawaaf two days before I leave Makkah, given that I frequent the Ka‘bah and pray there after the Farewell Tawaaf?
The Farewell Tawaaf is performed after completing all the Hajj rituals and fulfilling all one's needs in Makkah. One is required to immediately leave Makkah after the Farewell Tawaaf unless there is an excuse. This is the preponderant opinion according to the majority of scholars. Accordingly, you should know that waiting for two days after performing the Farewell Tawaaf entails another Tawaaf. The person who performed the Farewell Tawaaf and remained in Makkah for two days and then departed without performing Tawaaf again, he has abandoned one of the obligations of Hajj. Therefore, he is required to offer the compensation, which is slaughtering a sacrificial animal.
