তাওয়াফ al-Wida (farewell তাওয়াফ) is wajib (ওয়াজিব) জমহুর উলামাদের মতে and must be performed as the last act before leaving মক্কা মুকাররমা after হজ্জ. It consists of 7 circuits without raml or idtiba. Menstruating and post-partum women are exempted from তাওয়াফ al-Wida and incur no penalty.
Before performing তাওয়াফ al-Wida, ensure all other হজ্জ obligations are complete: stoning on all required days, তাওয়াফ al-Ifadah, সাঈ, and any remaining rituals. This তাওয়াফ should be the very last thing you do in মক্কা মুকাররমা before departing.
Perform অযু and enter মসজিদুল হারাম with the intention of performing তাওয়াফ al-Wida. You are in regular clothing (not ইহরাম) for this তাওয়াফ.
Complete seven circuits around the কাবা শরীফ starting from the হাজরে আসওয়াদ, walking counterclockwise with the কাবা শরীফ on your left. Walk at a normal pace — no raml or idtiba. Make heartfelt dua, as this is your farewell to the House of Allah.
These are the most frequent errors pilgrims make during this stage of Hajj.
Scholarly references supporting this guidance from established Islamic sources.
After completing the seven circuits, pray two rak'at behind Maqam Ibrahim or anywhere in the মসজিদ. Then drink Zamzam water with dua. Make a sincere dua that Allah grants you the opportunity to return.
Before leaving, take a moment to face the কাবা শরীফ and make a final heartfelt dua. Ask Allah to accept your হজ্জ, grant you return visits, and maintain the spiritual transformation you experienced.
Leave মসজিদুল হারাম and proceed directly to your transportation. The farewell তাওয়াফ should be the last thing you do — no shopping, meals at restaurants, or extended stays after it. Brief necessary stops (bathroom, collecting luggage) do not invalidate the farewell তাওয়াফ.
