The people of Mecca are not required to perform the Farewell Circumambulation (Tawaf al-Wada') because they are not bidding farewell to their homeland. This ruling includes everyone who resides within the boundaries of the Haram. However, if a Meccan wishes to travel after performing the rituals, then they must perform the Farewell Circumambulation, so that their last act is with the House (the Kaaba).
