Section I: The Ruling of the Farewell Circumambulation For those Performing Hajj and `Umrah

Firstly: Ruling of the farewell circumambulation for one performing Hajj
The Farewell Circumambulation is wajib upon completing rites and before leaving Mecca. This is the position of the majority: the Hanafis, Shafi`is (according to the clearest position), and Hanbalis.

Secondly: Ruling of the farewell circumambulation for one performing `Umrah
The Farewell Circumambulation is not wajib for one performing `umrah. This is by agreement of the four schools of jurisprudence. [1065] According to Hanafis and Hanbalis, the Farewell Circumambulation is specific to Hajj.
