Offering Tawaf-ul-Wada`

Q 1: A man had already performed Hajj, and this year he performed Hajj on behalf of another person. He performed all the rituals except Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah). However, after throwing the Jamarat (stone pillars at which pebbles are thrown during Hajj), he went to the Miqat (site for entering the ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah) and assumed Ihram (the ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah). He performed Tawaf and Sa`y (going between Safa and Marwah during Hajj), and then left Makkah to go to his homeland. Is it obligatory for him to perform Tawaf-ul-Wada`? Please advise, may Allah reward you.

A: If the case is as you have mentioned, he should slaughter an animal for abandoning Tawaf-ul-Wada` after finishing the rituals of Hajj. It is not enough to perform Tawaf for `Umrah instead of Tawaf for Hajj, because slaughtering an animal becomes obligatory for him as he had gone to the Miqat before Tawaf-ul-Wada`.
