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

                I am a resident of Jeddah, and Allah blessed me by enabling me to perform the pilgrimage to the Ka‘bah this year. My wife and I did Hajj (please note that we did not go with a group, and we had no place to stay there). We did the rituals for the Day of ‘Arafah and Muzdalifah, and on the tenth day of Dhu’l-Hijjah we did all the rituals, namely stoning the Jamrah, cutting our hair, sa‘i, tawaaf al-ifaadah and al-wadaa‘ – we did that on the tenth day, then we went down to Jeddah and stayed there until 9 PM, then we went out to Mina to spend the night there. Then we went back to Jeddah after praying Fajr on the eleventh. We went down to Jeddah after that, then we went back again to Mina at sunset on the eleventh and stoned the Jamaraat for that day, and we stayed in Mina until 2 AM, after half of the night had passed. Then we went back to Jeddah, then we came back to Mina after Zuhr on the twelfth day and stoned the Jamaraat, then we left Mina at 4 PM on that day and went back to Jeddah. Do we have to do tawaaf al-wadaa‘ during the months of Hajj? Do we have to offer a compensatory sacrifice for anything?
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.

	answer to question no. 36244

	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.
