And the pilgrim who is about to depart from Mecca postpones this circumambulation (1) until it is the very last of his acts, after which he should not busy himself with trade or anything of that sort (2). Yet if (3) he needs to relieve himself (4), or purchases (5) something along the way after the Farewell, or enters (6) the lodging where he is staying so as to load his belongings onto his mount, or does anything else that is simply part of getting ready to leave, he is not required to repeat the circumambulation. However, should he remain in Mecca after the Farewell, he must perform it again.
This circumambulation is obligatory (7) according to the majority (8), but it is waived for a menstruating woman.
(1) In manuscripts A and B: “ʿan”.
(2) In manuscript C: “wa nahwuha” (and the like).
(3) In manuscripts C and D: “in”.
(4) The phrase “hajatahu” (his need) is absent from C.
(5) In manuscript B: “wa-ishtara” (and he bought).
(6) The preposition “ila” (to) is missing from A and B.
(7) The expression “al-tawaf wajib” (the circumambulation is obligatory) appears in A as “huwa al-tawaf” (it is the circumambulation).
(8) The farewell tawaf (tawaf al-wada) is obligatory according to the Hanafi, Shafi‘i, and Hanbali schools; neglecting it entails a compensatory sacrifice. The Malikis, however, regard it as a sunnah and impose no penalty for leaving it. Supplement: Shaykh al-Islam stated in Majmuʿ al-Fatawa 26/2, “The farewell tawaf is not a pillar but an obligation; it is not part of the hajj itself, yet anyone departing Mecca must perform it. Consequently, one who remains in Mecca does not perform a farewell tawaf, which is the sound view.” And in al-Furuʿ 6/64: “If someone leaves Mecca who is not a pilgrim, the apparent wording of Abu al-Abbas indicates…”

تتمة: قال شيخ الإسلام في مجموع الفتاوى ٢٦/ ٢: (وطواف الوداع ليس بركن، بل هو واجب، وليس هو من تمام الحج، ولكن كل من خرج من مكة عليه أن يودع، ولهذا من أقام بمكة لا يودع على الصحيح).
