Tawaaf-ul-widaa for one performing umrah

· 1 Rabiʻ II 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I know that tawaafe wida is obligatory for hajj. What is the status of it for umrah?

I've heard some say it is "not prescribed"... Does this mean it is haraam or makrooh or just not compulsory?

Answer

There is no tawaaf-ul-widaa for umrah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
