Should I bid farewell to the Sacred

Q 1: I performed Hajj this year and I performed Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah) at night. I could not leave Makkah at night, so I spent the night there and traveled in the morning. What is the ruling on this?


(Part No. 11; Page No. 304)  A: A pilgrim should perform Tawaf-ul-Wada` on leaving Makkah, according to the Hadith reported from Ibn `Abbas which is agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim, People were ordered to perform the Tawaf-ul-Wada` as the last thing before leaving Makkah, except menstruating women who were excused. As you performed Tawaf-ul-Wada` with the intention of leaving at night, but could not leave until the morning, there is no harm in this in sha’a-Allah (if Allah wills). However, if you had repeated Tawaf on leaving Makkah, it would have been better.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
