Is Tawaaf-e-widaa necessary in Umrah?
Question
My father visited Makkah Muqarramah to perfom his Umrah some time back. Alhamdolillah he was able to do so. However, because sudden health problem, he went back to India without performing Tawaf-e-Wida.
Just wanted to know that does it was necessary for him to perform Tawaf-e-Wida before leaving Makkah. If it is so then please let me know what will be the kaffara for that.
Please also let me know that the person who is working in Jeddah and every year he is going to his native country during vacation and again comes back to join his work. Is it necesaary for him to perform Tawaf-e-Wida everytime before leaving Jeddah.
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Tawaaf-e- widaa is only performed in Hajj and not in Umrah .[1]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
