حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنْ يَنْفِرَ الرَّجُلُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ آخِرُ عَهْدِهِ بِالْبَيْتِ " .
´It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade a man to depart until the last thing he did was (Tawaf around) the House.”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ In Hajj and Umrah, the fundamental importance is given to the Sacred House (Baytullah). Therefore, upon departure, the farewell circumambulation (Tawaf al-Wada‘) has also been prescribed.
➋ One should strive to perform the farewell circumambulation (Tawaf al-Wada‘) at a time when all arrangements for departure have been completed, and now only the act of going to the bus or taxi stand for Madinah remains, or one is fully prepared to go to the airport or seaport for returning to one’s homeland.
➌ When leaving the mosque after the farewell circumambulation (Tawaf al-Wada‘), walking backwards (with one’s back to the exit) is not established from the Sunnah.
