Leaving Makkah before making the Farewell Tawaaf, which is one of the obligatory actions of Hajj.
Some pilgrims make Sa‘y after Tawaaf believing that the Farewell Tawaaf requires Sa‘y . The valid approach, however, is that the Farewell Tawaaf does not require Sa‘y .
Walking backwards while leaving Al-Masjid Al-Haraam after the Farewell Tawaaf with the pilgrim’s face towards the Ka‘bah, without turning and looking before him. This is an innovated matter in religion.
After making the Farewell Tawaaf, some pilgrims stand by the door of the Masjid, face the Ka‘bah, bid farewell and use a certain supplication for bidding farewell to the Ka‘bah. It is not proved that the Prophet, , did so.
