Mistakes in the Farewell Tawaaf

08/11/2009| IslamWeb


  • Staying in Makkah after the Farewell Tawaaf (circumambulation). In such a case, the last of the pilgrim's deeds will not be the Tawaaf. 
     
  • 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, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ), did so.
