Tawaf-ul-Ifadah instead of Tawaf-ul-Wada`

Q 3: is it permissible if a person performs Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah) shortly before the completion of throwing the Jamarat (stone pillars at which pebbles are thrown during Hajj)?

A: Tawaf-ul-Wada` is the last of the rituals of Hajj, so it is not permissible to perform it before any other ritual. This is supported by the Hadith which is narrated on the authority of Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): The people were ordered to perform the Tawaf of the Ka`bah (Tawaf-al-Wada`) as the last thing, before leaving (Makkah). May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
