Q 2: I live in
Jeddah
and I always go to
Makkah.
Should I bid farewell to the Sacred House after Hajj, or should I delay that until returning home? Is there any expiation to be offered for delaying Tawaf-ul-Wada`(circumambulation around the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah)?
A:
If you perform Hajj, do not leave for Jeddah after you have finished your Hajj until you have performed Tawaf-ul-Wada`. If you leave before performing Tawaf-ul-Wada`, you have to offer a sacrifice to be slaughtered in the Sacred Zone. You should not eat any of it; rather, it should be given to the poor. Tawaf-ul-Wada` is obligatory after Hajj because of the general meaning of the Hadith of
Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
The people were ordered to perform Tawaf of the Ka`bah (Tawaf-ul-Wada`) as the last thing before leaving (Makkah), except the menstruating women who were excused.
(Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
Accordingly, you have to repent to Allah (Exalted be He) for going to Jeddah before performing Tawaf-ul-Wada`.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
