Tawaf Al–Wada‘:If the
pilgrim wants to travel, he goes to circumambulate around The
House without Ramal (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 could 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 touches 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 Allah.
