On whom it is obligatory to perform Tawaf-ul-Wada`

Q 6: If a person enters Makkah while not being a pilgrim who is performing Hajj or `Umrah (lesser pilgrimage), does he have to offer Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah) when leaving Makkah? Also, does the person who performs `Umrah have to offer Tawaf-ul-Wada` if he stays in Makkah for one or two days or the like? Is there any Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah) called Tawaf-ul-Wada` that was authentically reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him)? Or, may any Tawaf serve as Tawaf-ul-Wada` if the person, after performing it, leaves Makkah ? Please give us a Fatwa. May Allah reward you and never deprive you of entering the Jannah (Paradise), Amen!

A 6: Tawaf-ul-Wada` is obligatory upon the pilgrim who performs Hajj and wants to leave Makkah after performing Hajj. This is according to the Hadith of Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) where he said: The people were commanded that the last thing they do should be to circumambulate the Al-Bayt (the House: another name for the Ka`bah; meaning Tawaf-al-Wada`), but an exception was made for menstruating women. (Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim). A woman who is in her postpartum period also falls under the same ruling as a menstruating woman. Non-pilgrims do not have to offer Tawaf-ul-Wada` according to (Part No. 10; Page No. 345) the correct scholarly opinion. That is because the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not command those who were performing `Umrah to perform Tawaf-ul-Wada`. Tawaf-ul-Wada`, after performing Hajj, must be accompanied by intention because it is `Ibadah (worship). Besides, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will receive the reward according to what he has intended. And Allah knows best!May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
