Tawaf Al–Wada‘:
If the pilgrim wants to travel, he goes to circumambulate around
The House without Jogging, Idibaa (exposing his right shoulder while
covering his left one) or Sa‘y. This kind of Tawaf is called Tawaf
al-Wada‘ (farewell) and is an obligation. Then he prays two rak‘as
of Tawaf and goes to Zamzam, he drinks as much water as he can while
he is facing the Ka‘bah. After that, he goes to Al-Multazam and
invokes Allah for whatever he wishes in this world and the Hereafter.
He starts (invocation) by praising, glorifying and saluting the
prophet (peace be upon him) and ends it in the same way and invokes:
“O Allah! The House is Yours and the slave is Yours – son of
Your slave and maid – You have carried me on those which You subjected
to me of Your creatures and enabled me with Your graces and supported
me to perform Your rites – so if You are pleased with me increase
my share of Your satisfaction – or favour me with Your approval
and pleasure out of Your pure grace. You are the Lord of Grace abounding.
I am leaving with Your permission without exchanging You or Your
House or turning away from You or Your House.
O Allah! Accompany me with health in my body, protection for
my faith and make better my return to You, provide me with Your
obedience as long as I live, and gather to me the goodness of both
this world and the Hereafter. You are over all things Competent.”
O Allah, grant me many returns, time after time to visit Your
Sacred House and make me among those who are accepted by You – You
are full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour
O Allah! Do not make this pilgrimage of mine the last visit to Your
Sacred House – You are The Most Merciful of the merciful”.
Then he goes towards the Black Stone, kisses it or points to
it in case it is impossible to come close. He walks out of Al-Haram
facing the door, he does not walk backwards and turns for many times
to the Ka‘bah in regret for leaving it and hoping to return once
more to visit (The Old House) where mercy, forgiveness and favor
are granted by Al Mighty Allah.
