Do Farewell Tawaf At Journey's End
- Do perform Tawaf al-Wada' (farewell tawaf) as the last act before leaving the Haram precinct.
- Avoid buying or selling after it except for essentials and food.
Combine Intentions For Practicality
- Combining Tawaf intentions lets Tawaf al-Ifadah serve as Tawaf al-Wada' when delayed until departure.
- Scholars like Imam Malik and Imam al-Nawawi likened this to praying tahiyyatul-masjid when joining a fard prayer.
Prefer Doing Both Tawafs If Possible
- Try to perform both Tawaf al-Ifadah and Tawaf al-Wada' if you can, rather than combining them.
- Only delay tawaf intentions if genuinely difficult or constrained by travel plans.
