Answer

Since Jeddah is outside the Meeqaat, you will have to make Tawaaf-e-Widaa in Hajj.

Ask AskImam

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
